June's Strawberry Moon: 2026's Final Micro Moon Lights Up the Sky

June 29, 2026 marks the last micro moon of the year—the Strawberry Moon—peaking at 7:56 p.m. ET; at apogee, it will appear about 7% smaller than a typical full moon and roughly 14% smaller than a supermoon, rising in the southeastern sky after sunset and setting in the southwestern horizon before sunrise. Its low angle due to the summer solstice means it may be obscured by trees in some areas, and the name doesn’t indicate its color unless atmospheric conditions change its hue.
