Welcome, summer!

The much-anticipated astronomical start of summer begins with the solstice on June 20. However, this is not the only exciting astronomical event in June. There will also be the full Strawberry Moon, which will brighten the night sky on June 11. Its nickname was coined by the Algonquin people, due to its appearance marking the beginning of wild strawberry harvesting season in the northeastern United States around this time. In fact, many of the names for full moons have Native American origins, such as the Harvest Moon in October and the Worm Moon in March.
