How to watch the full "strawberry" moon — the last supermoon of 2021 - CBS News

The June full moon is often called the strawberry moon, named by Native American tribes for the strawberries harvested in parts of North America during this time of year, according to the Farmer's Almanac.

The strawberry moon typically marks the last full moon of spring or the first of summer.

It has also been called the blooming moon, green corn moon, hoer moon, birth moon, egg laying moon and hatching moon, honey moon and mead moon, The Farmer's Almanac said. .

The phrase "honeymoon" may be tied to this full moon, possibly due to the tradition of marrying in June or because the "honey moon" is the "sweetest" moon of the year.

The full moon will reach peak illumination on Thursday, June 24, at 2:40 p.m.
