This year’s summer solstice comes with a special treat; a so-called ‘Strawberry Moon’.
According to website Motherboard, a full moon falling on the same day as the solstice is a rare occurrence, happening only once in every lifetime. The two events coincided once every 70 years, last in 1967.
The ‘Strawberry Moon’ was named by early Native American tribes and marks the beginning of the strawberry harvesting season. It’s also known as a ‘Rose Moon’ and ‘Long Night Moon’.
