The Full Moon of the Holy Month of Dhul Hijjah 1445 AH on 14th of the month will be 'Strawberry Moon' to officially mark the beginning of summer shortly after the arrival of summer solstice in North America.
There are two solstices every year: one in June and one in December. The June solstice marks the longest day north of the equator and the shortest day in the south.
Around every 20 years, the Strawberry Moon coincides with the summer solstice, which is either on June 20, 21, or 22.
Strawberry Moon
The Strawberry Moon’s name comes from "the relatively short season for harvesting strawberries in northeastern North America," according to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), according to Space.
Other names for this Full Moon are Rose Moon, Hot Moon, and Mead Moon.
The Celtic names of the Strawberry Moon are Horse Moon, Dyan Moon, and Rose Moon. Other English names are Flower Moon and Planting Moon.
The moon, despite its name, will look like a normal Full Moon. However, this Dhul Hijjah full moon may give off a reddish tint when it starts rising in northern regions of Europe, according to NASA.
This is more likely to happen when the Moon appears lower in the sky, as the Sun’s rays of light bounce off the Earth.
When and where will Strawberry Moon rise?
The Strawberry Moon is set to reach its fullest phase at 09:07 PM Eastern time on Friday, June 21, which is also the longest day of the year.
The moon will be the lowest full moon in years, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac.
In New York City, the 97% illuminated will rise at about 07:45 PM Thursday, reaching 100% fullness as it rises at about 08:50 PM on Friday.
It will also be 100% full on Saturday rising at 09:45 PM.
