A full Strawberry Moon rises Monday night, but it will be one of the smallest of the year, at least from the perspective of those watching on Earth.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s because the moon, which rises at 7:56 p.m., according to timeanddate.com, will also be a micromoon, when it\u2019s at its apogee, or farthest point from Earth.<\/p>\n

The apogee technically already happened, with the moon hitting 252,442 miles away at 3:12 a.m. Sunday, according to data maintained on a site run by Fourmilab Switzerland.\u00a0 The moon can range in distance to Earth from about 221,000 miles to as far as about 255,000 miles.<\/p>\n

It will still be more than 251,000 miles away when the moon rises Monday night, though, making it the second of two micro full moons on tap for 2026.<\/p>\n

Of note, the four crew of Artemis II this spring flew farther from Earth than that, venturing out 252,756 miles from the planet, setting a new record for distance from Earth flown by humans. They broke the record that had previously been held by the Apollo 13 crew, who in 1970 had traveled 248,655 miles away during their off-nominal journey.<\/p>\n

While this full moon is a micromoon, the opposite side of the moon spectrum is the supermoon, which happens when a full moon is at its perigee, or closest point. The next supermoon won\u2019t be until December when it will be 221,611 miles away.<\/p>\n

In comparison, a micromoon appears 12.5% to 14.1% smaller than a supermoon, according to timeanddate.com, and 5.9% to 6.9% smaller than an average full moon.<\/p>\n

As far as the name \u201cStrawberry Moon\u201d goes, it comes from the \u201cAlgonquin name marking the wild strawberry harvest in June,\u201d according to the Farmer\u2019s Almanac, and it\u2019s the name given to the first full moon of June.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Algonquin, Ojibwe, Dakota, Lakota, Chippewa, Oneida and Sioux all called the June full Moon by some form of \u2018Strawberry Moon\u2019,\u201d according to the Almanac. \u201cSettlers met the name on arrival and kept it, and it is one of the few Indigenous Moon names that crossed wholesale into mainstream American almanacs and never went out of use.\u201d<\/p>\n

It stated the Creek from the southeastern U.S. called it the \u201cBlackberry Moon,\u201d the Shawnee in the Midwest called it the \u201cRaspberry Moon\u201d and the Haida of Alaska simply called it the \u201cBerries Ripen Moon.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other names given this full moon, according to the Almanac, include the \u201cRose Moon\u201d in Europe, \u201cHot Moon,\u201d \u201cHoney Moon\u201d or \u201cMead Moon\u201d in Anglo-Saxon tradition and \u201cLotus Moon\u201d in China, noting most are tied to what mattered most for harvesting in midsummer.<\/p>\n

Some native tribes in Alaska called it the \u201cMoon of Birthing,\u201d the Almanac stated, while the Arapaho in the Great Plains called it \u201cMoon When the Buffalo Bellows\u201d and the Omaha in Nebraska called it \u201cMoon When the Buffalo Bulls Hunt the Cows.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Related to weather, the Choctaw of the southern Great Plains called it the \u201cWindy Moon.\u201d<\/p>\n
