Experience the spectacular strawberry moon: a top -class heavenly event!

Wertheim, Deutschland - June 11, 2025 will go down in the history books, because this evening the Juni Function, which is also known as a "strawberry moon", "Rosenmond" or "Brachmond", will illuminate the night sky. My news reports that the moon shows a particularly impressive appearance at around 11 p.m. Above all, the deep position in the sky ensures a fantastic spectacle - the moon looks larger than usual.

The name "Strawberry Moon" comes from the Algonquin, the North American indigenous people who harvest the strawberries in June. Alternatively, it is also called "Rosenmond" because the roses bloom in June and "Brachmond", since the fallow fields are processed during this time. The reddish coloring of the moon is due to its position; The remaining red light makes it even more impressive.

A very special astronomical feature of this year's strawberry moon is the "moon -ending effect". This makes the moon appear larger when it is low on the horizon and is compared with objects such as trees or houses. Astronomy enthusiasts and hobby astronomers are invited to prepare this spectacle with binoculars or telescopes.
