JOHANNESBURG - Stargazers are in for a rare celestial treat as the Strawberry Moon graces the skies.
The moon will appear unusually low and radiant in a spectacle that won’t repeat for another 18 years.
While the name “Strawberry Moon” doesn’t refer to colour, the moon does take on a golden or reddish hue as it rises and sets, especially when it’s this close to the horizon.
If you miss it, you’ll have to wait until 2043 to see the full moon hang this low again.
Look up tonight for something sweet!
The full Strawberry Moon, named by the Algonquin tribes for the time of year that berries ripen, will take to the night skies on June 10-11. pic.twitter.com/GKr41bGUUV— NASA (@NASA) June 10, 2025
