The Strawberry Supermoon, Mead, Honey, Rose Moon, Flower, Hot, Hoe, Planting Moon, Vat Purnima, Poson Poya, and LRO Moon are the next Full Moons.
Many cultures have given different names to the twelve full moons that occur each year. Full moon names that seem physically vivid, such as 'Strawberry Supermoon,' make it simple to envisage anything like the artist's concept above.
However, the names aren't usually based on color but on an activity that occurs at that time of year. For example, the name 'Strawberry Moon' is derived from the Algonquin tribes of Native Americans who lived in what is now the northeastern United States.
This Strawberry Moon is a rare treat because it is a supermoon rather than a full moon. This occurs when the moon's orbit approaches Earth, resulting in a larger, brighter full moon.
The next full moon will appear opposite the Sun in Earth-based longitude at 7:52 a.m. EDT on Tuesday, June 14, 2022.
This will occur late Monday night for the International Date Line West time zone, Tuesday for various time zones around the world, and Wednesday morning from the Chatham Standard Time zone eastward to the International Date Line. The Moon will be full for nearly three days, from Sunday evening to Wednesday morning, focusing on this period.
