\nHistorically, the Native Americans who lived in the area that is now the northern and eastern United States kept track of the seasons by giving distinctive names to the recurring full Moons.<\/p>\n

Each full Moon name was applied to the entire lunar month in which it occurred.<\/p>\n

These names, and some variations, were used by the Algonquin tribes from New England to Lake Superior.<\/p>\n

The month of June’s full Moon’s name is the Full Strawberry Moon<\/strong>. June’s Full Strawberry Moon got its name because the Algonquin tribes knew it as a signal to gather ripening fruit.<\/p>\n

It was often known as the Full Rose Moon in Europe (where strawberries aren’t native).<\/p>\n

\n2013 Strawberry Moon is a SUPER MOON<\/strong><\/p>\n

CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida — There is going to be a full Moon on the night of June 22, 2013, but not just any full Moon, it will be a Strawberry Moon that is also a Super Moon.<\/p>\n

According to Native American folklore, this full Moon is called a Strawberry Moon because the short season for harvesting strawberries comes during the month of June. Other names for the first full Moon is June are Rose Moon and Flower Moon.<\/p>\n

Are Strawberry Moons red or pink in color?<\/p>\n

Sometimes. But Strawberry Moons are not necessarily red or pink in color just because they occur in June.<\/p>\n

Like any full Moon, the Moon can appear pink, like the one in this video taken two months ago, which can be caused by atmospheric conditions on Earth or a partial lunar eclipse. Strawberry Moons can also appear brown-red in color during a total lunar eclipse.<\/p>\n

According to NASA, the full moon on June 30, 1996 was barely a “Blue Moon” because it occurred as the second Full Moon within the month. In time zones East of Brevard County on Florida’s Space Coast, however, this was the first Full Moon of July.<\/p>\n

What’s so special about this 2013 Strawberry Super Moon?<\/p>\n

This Super Moon will be the closest Super Moon of 2013. This Strawberry Super Moon will appear 13% larger and 30% brighter than normal Full Moons.<\/p>\n

According to NASA, a Super Moon occurs because the Moon is in an elliptical orbit around the Earth. When the Moon is closest, it is at its orbital perigee, which is why a Super Moon is also known as a Perigee Moon Read more… <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
