Full 'Strawberry' moon peaks tonight (Shukla Purnima)

scienceJun 28, 2026362,641

June 29, 2026 is Shukla Purnima, the full "Strawberry" moon, which reaches peak fullness Monday evening and will rise in the southeastern sky just after sunset. WRAL advises skywatchers to look southeast at moonrise; one report lists the peak at 7:57 p.m. Eastern. The name Strawberry Moon comes from the season of ripe strawberries and is also tied to traditional Algonquin usage, while some sources note the date as a day of spiritual illumination and completion in Vedic practice. Observers say the moon can appear orange near the horizon and will be especially photogenic for photographers, though local forecasts in some areas warn of clouds or passing storms that could hide the view. Expect the main immediate outcome to be widespread moonrise watching and nighttime photography plans across clear-sky regions tonight.

I’m not 100% happy with my dough when I make galettes, it’s kind of a basic biscuit dough. What’s your crust recipe if you don’t mind sharing?

It's a bad idea to scroll food posts after eating an edible. I want to eat all of it but I'm miles from anything!

just a reminder on this strawberry full moon: Tending to yourself like a garden will reap fruit. What is meant for you will find you, and what you water will grow. You are worth more than the bare minimum, and it’s okay to need more than that. I hope this year you have an abundance of love 🖤

The moon veiled by churning clouds. As the clouds change direction I'm left sitting with only the moonlight. That's when you realize that an ache is an echo. #poetry #moon #fullmoon #strawberrymoon

SUNSET WARNING! 🌆 Sadly there will be another ridiculously photogenic sunset and near full moon in the Front Range Sunday evening. Get your cameras ready. Hoping that the escalating number of rapidly growing fires in the Southwest slow down, but it's not looking good #COWx
