Topline:
Look to the sky on Tuesday night and you’ll see the first and last full moon of June, known as a strawberry moon.
Best viewing: After sunset, look to the south, where the moon will appear at its most southern point in the sky due to an event known as a major lunar standstill, which occurs every 18.6 years.
Why strawberry? A strawberry moon occurs during the time of year when strawberries fully ripen. The name originated with the Algonquian tribes in the northeastern U.S., according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac. It has also been called the Green Corn moon by the Cherokee.
For space lovers: Griffith Observatory is hosting a viewing party online, starting at 8:42 p.m.
