The Strawberry Moon will illuminate the skies of south-central Pennsylvania on Monday night, offering a prime opportunity for skywatchers to observe June’s full moon. This moon is named for the season when strawberries become ripe and marks the first full moon of summer in 2023.
Despite its name, the Strawberry Moon will not appear pink. Instead, it may have a reddish or orange hue when it rises or sets near the horizon. This effect occurs due to atmospheric conditions, which can change the colour of light.
The moon will reach its full phase at 7:56 p.m. on Monday. In south-central Pennsylvania, it is expected to rise at 8:58 p.m. and set at 5:51 a.m. on Tuesday. The weather conditions across the Susquehanna Valley look favourable for viewing, with partly cloudy skies predicted.
Skywatchers are encouraged to capture images of the full moon. News 8 invites anyone who photographs the moon to share their photos or videos via their website. This engagement allows local residents to contribute to community interest in astronomy and celestial events.
As the full moon rises, many will take the time to appreciate its beauty and significance in various cultures. With supportive weather, the Strawberry Moon promises to be a notable event for those looking to connect with nature under the night sky.
