According to NASA, the lunar event known as ‘Strawberry Moon’ began yesterday and will continue to be visible until early Saturday. It is common for these lunar events to obtain a unique name, some of them referring to the appearance of the moon, but most of the nature of the stations in which they occur. That is, do not wait for the strawberry moon to look like a strawberry.
The milling moon is a particular cultural name for the last full moon that happens during the spring season or, depending on the year, the first full moon that takes place during the summer season. The name does not refer to the appearance of the Moon: it will not become strawberry red, but rather the time of year when these types of berries are usually mature enough to harvest.
Although the moon will not look like a giant mature strawberry in the sky on the next night, NASA says it may seem like a reddish shadow when it rises and is established due to the way solar light hits it at this time of year . In addition, the strawberry moon of 2021 will look larger and closer than an ordinary full moon, which makes it a special view.
This will technically make the event a super strawberry moon, since ‘Super Moon’ is the term used for any full moon that appears larger than normal. The full moon of this weekend is also known by other names, including honey and rose moon.
