A spectacular strawberry moon phenomenon will be visible in the sky tonight.
According to NASA, the moon will be full on 5 June at 3.12 pm EDT, which equates to 8.12 pm for our British readers, and this isn't just any full moon, it's June's strawberry moon.
Relive the historic moment Buzz Aldrin placed the American flag on the moon:

The NASA website explains: "The Moon will appear full for about three days around this time, from early Thursday morning into early Sunday morning."
Despite what its name suggests, the phenomenon isn't named after its color. Instead, the strawberry moon got its name from early Native American tribes, who called it after its relation to the harvesting of strawberries.

NASA's Gordon Johnston explained: "The Maine Farmer's Almanac first published Indian names for the full Moons in the 1930s. According to this almanac, the full Moon in June or the last full Moon of Spring is known as the Strawberry Moon, a name universal to just about every Algonquin tribe.
"The name comes from the relatively short season for harvesting strawberries in northeastern North America."

The phenomenon is also sometimes known as the "Mead Moon" or the "Honey Moon".
"Mead is a drink created by fermenting honey mixed with water, sometimes with fruits, spices, grains, or hops," NASA continued.
"The tradition of calling the first month of marriage the 'honeymoon' dates back to at least the 1500s and may be tied to this full Moon, either because of the custom of marrying in June or because the 'Honey Moon' is the 'sweetest' Moon of the year.
Some writings suggest that the time around the Summer solstice at the end of June was when honey was ripe and ready to be harvested from hives or from the wild, which made this the 'sweetest' Moon."

However, it's worth noting that the strawberry mon won't look the same for everyone, with LiveScience stating that there will be a "penumbral lunar eclipse" in much of the Eastern Hemisphere, causing the moon to appear "dark and silvery."
