A Strawberry Supermoon will appear this Tuesday, June 14th! A supermoon is any full Moon that is at a distance of at least 90% of perigee (which is the point at which the Moon is closest to Earth). The optimal time to view the Strawberry Supermoon in Los Angeles is 8:05 p.m. PT and 8:57 p.m. PT. According to Wyoming Public Media,
June's full moon is commonly known as the strawberry moon, a name that comes from the Algonquin Native American tribe in the northeastern U.S. and eastern Canada and refers to the region's strawberry harvesting season (not the moon's actual hue).
