What is a Strawberry Moon?
The moon appears one day after its apogee, when the body is at its furthest point from Earth. When the moon is in this position, it is often called a micromoon.

The name of the lunar phenomenon is derived from the Native American Algonquin tribes, who named the event for the coincidence of the full moon with the region's berry picking season.

Observers of the June full moon may notice that it appears to change color. The hue of the celestial body, however, does not actually change.

The point is that until it reaches our eyes, the reflected moonlight needs to pass through the Earth's atmosphere and, at that moment, it can slightly change its color depending on what is in the air.
