The last supermoon of 2021, the so-called "Strawberry Moon", is set to light up the sky on Thursday, June 24.
According to Metro, the waxing moon will appear larger and brighter than normal; first appearing in the early morning of Wednesday, June 23.
It will then remain in the sky for three days until early on Saturday, June 26 - peaking on the night of Thursday, June 24.
You might think that the name of this celestial phenomenon comes from the moon's pinkish hue - but this is actually incorrect.
Instead, the name derives from the fact that it occurs in June, which is traditionally the time in the United States when wild strawberries ripen well enough to be harvested.
Per the above publication, the British Royal Observatory reports that: "In North America, the harvesting of strawberries in June gives that month’s full moon its name."
"Europeans have dubbed it the rose moon, while other cultures named it the hot moon for the beginning of the summer heat. The moon’s phases and the months of the year are inextricably linked.
"It takes the moon about 29.5 days to go through all of its phases, meaning that each month has on average one full moon."
Another article published by NASA states that another name for the moon in Europe is the "Mead Moon", due to the fact that honey and other spices were historically gathered at this time of year to use in sweetening the alcoholic beverage.
NASA adds that the orbit of the moon around the Earth is almost in the same plane as the orbit of the Earth around the Sun. During the summer solstice, the sun appears highest in the sky.
Since the moon is positioned opposite to the Sun, a full moon during the summer solstice will therefore be lower in the sky; giving it a reddish tint as it shines through our atmosphere.
As a result of this, the moon will reach its zenith on Thursday night, at 1:39 AM EDT. So if the skies are clear over your head, you'll have a good chance of seeing an incredible sight with your own eyes.
