Strawberry Moon in 2026 to be lowest and smallest of the year

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The Strawberry Moon will reach its peak illumination on June 29, 2026, appearing lower in the sky than any other full moon of the year. This phenomenon occurs because the full moon is opposite the sun, which is at its highest point in the sky due to the summer solstice. The Strawberry Moon is also notable for being a micromoon, occurring near apogee when the moon is farthest from Earth, making it appear smaller and dimmer than average. AI
