Summer nights and the Strawberry Moon. 🍓🌕

The Full Strawberry Moon reaches its peak on June 29, 2026—one of the most beautiful celestial sights of the year!

Despite its name, it won't actually look like a giant strawberry. Instead, it often takes on a beautiful golden or amber glow as it rises low on the horizon. This year it's also a "micromoon," appearing slightly smaller as it reaches its farthest point from Earth.

Its name comes from Native American traditions marking the time when wild strawberries are ripe for the harvest.

This year’s moon is extra special—it's the last "micromoon" of 2026!

Don't miss this beautiful summer glow! 🌌

It's Happening Tonight! — The Moon Meets Spica! 🌙✨

Tonight, June 23, 2026, a waxing crescent moon will be shining brightly right next to Spica, the brilliant blue-white "gem" of the Virgo constellation, creating a stunning celestial pairing.

⏰ Best viewing: 30 to 60 minutes after sunset
📍 Where to look: Look toward the south-southwestern sky

No telescope needed! Just find a spot away from city lights, give your eyes 20–30 minutes to adjust, and enjoy.

Don't miss this beautiful sight before it sets. Tag a friend to remind them to look up tonight! 🌌
