You may have noticed the moon looked a little different last night — it was full, low, and in some places glowed with a bright-pink hue.
It was June’s Strawberry Moon — so named not because of the reddish glow, but because its namesake fruit is ready to be harvested in June.
The full moon peaked in illumination at 3:44 a.m. ET early Wednesday, according to the Farmer’s Almanac.
In some locations, fittingly, the moon radiated a strawberry-like red-and-pink glow due to its low position and light passing through the densest parts of the atmosphere. The phenomenon was visible in New York City, Florida and across the pond in the U.K. and Cyprus.
