There are 7 unexpected big moon facts.
The June full moon is the second of four in a row in which the full moon coincides with the moon's closest point to the Earth. When the moon is farthest from Earth, it can appear up to 30% brighter and 18% larger, but it won't look different to the casual observer.
There will be a Full Strawberry Supermoon on Tuesday. The moon will be full before and after the event. The moon will be visible from June 13-15. The strawberry season coincides with the short one.
The full moon of June will be the lowest full moon of the year, with the moon rising just 23.3 degrees above the southern horizon early on June 15 for observers in Washington, D.C. The summer solstice occurs on June 21.
