CBC Manitoba: How to spot the Strawberry Moon
June 10, 2025 —
The Strawberry Moon is the full moon in June and it peaked at 2:44 a.m. CT on June 11th.
Due to a lunar standstill, it will appear low in the sky, something that only happens every 18.6 years. This will be the lowest since 2006 — and won’t happen again until 2043.
While not actually strawberry pink, the Strawberry Moon may glow amber or orange near the horizon.
The next full moon will be the Buck Moon, which occurs on July 10, 2025.
Danielle Pahud, director of the Lockheart Planetarium, tells host Faith Fundal all about this month’s full moon – the Strawberry Moon.
