A lot of people have been interested in nature and astronomy now because we spend a lot of time at home, thanks to COVID-19. Some parts of the world will enjoy the eclipse of Strawberry Moon on June 5 that is today, while other parts of the glorious individual moon scene will be addressed.

 

Sadly, despite its fruity name, June's full moon won't be red, as its name comes from the strawberry harvest at this time of year. Full moons happen every 29.5 days, and they have names appropriate to the season because Native American tribes originally tracked the changing seasons by the lunar months rather than the solar calendar. June's full moon is also sometimes called the mead moon, honey moon and rose moon.

 

But those in North America won't be able to see it then as it will be daylight there, but those in Europe, Africa, Asia and parts of Australia will see what is called a penumbral lunar eclipse.
