Date and Time of Strawberry Moon

While some parts of the world saw the Strawberry moon last night, in some parts of the world, it is still rising. In the Eastern Time Zone of the United States, that will happen at 4.30am Monday, June 17. On the West Coast with Pacific Time, the peak will be 1.30am.

The Strawberry moon has different names in other parts of the world. In Europe, it is called the Honey Moon, Mead Moon or the Full Rose Moon. While in the Southern Hemisphere, it can be referred to as Oak Moon, Cold Moon or Long Night Moon. The name Strawberry Moon comes from the Old Farmer's Almanac. In North America, Algonquin tribes of Native Americans gave the name to the moon because the full moon was their sign to harvest wild strawberries. Flower Moon 2018: All You Need to Know About the Full Moon of May and Why it is Called So?
