Strawberry moon on June 11th: A unique sky event awaits you!

On Wednesday, June 11, 2025, a very special natural spectacle awaits us: the full moon, also known as the strawberry moon.

The moon has an average distance of around 384,400 kilometers to earth, with the distance fluctuating in the course of a month. The moon will open on June 11 at 10:30 p.m. The weather forecasts promise slightly cloudy conditions that should make a good view of the strawberry moon. Despite the name, however, the moon will not appear strawberry.

The strawberry moon has its name from the North American indigenous people who combined him with the beginning of the strawberry harvest. In Europe, it is also referred to as rose or honey moon. On June 11, the full moon will be reached at 9:43 a.m. CEST, but is best visible the night before and afterwards. A special feature of this strawberry moon lies in its low declination: it will appear on the Horizon Röter, which is due to the known assault effect.

In addition to this impressive full moon, June 2025 brings several other astronomical events.
