The Strawberry Moon, or the Rose Moon or Honey Moon, is a June full moon. It got its name from Native American tribes who associated it with the start of strawberry season. The Strawberry Moon appeared in the night sky on June 4 this year.

According to CNN, the strawberry moon has nothing to do with the full moon's colour in June, but it is tied to historical traditions. It was named by Native American tribes "to mark the ripening of 'June-bearing' strawberries that are ready to be gathered," according to The Old Farmer's Almanac, which also notes that "June is a time of great abundance for many" as flowers bloom and early fruit ripens.
The photographs posted demonstrated the originality and brilliance of photographers and sky enthusiasts all across the world.
