Strawberry Supermoon is a full moon with a pinkish colour. It happens when the moon is at its closest distance to Earth in June. It is also known as the honey moon and rose moon. The name Strawberry Supermoon was given because of the pink colour.

Reports have mentioned that the Algonquin Native American tribe gave the name in the northeastern US and eastern Canada. The tribe describes the short strawberry harvesting season in the region.

The American space agency NASA said that June's Strawberry Moon will appear opposite the sun and reach its peak illumination at 7:52 am EDT (5.22 pm IST) on Tuesday (June 14).

NASA also mentionedthat it will remain full through Wednesday morning as the moon will appear full for about three days centered on this time, from Sunday evening through Wednesday morning.

NASA also said that the full moon of June will be the lowest full moon of 2022. The moon will rise just 23.3 degrees above the southern horizon early on June 15 for observers in Washington, DC.

NASA wrote in a guide: "On the summer solstice, the sun appears highest in the sky for the year. Full moons are opposite the sun, so a full moon near the summer solstice will be low in the sky."
