CNN World | June’s strawberry moon will light up the sky this week

(CNN) – June’s full moon, the strawberry moon, will illuminate the sky this week.

The moon will appear full from Sunday moonrise to Wednesday moonset, according to NASA. It will reach its peak at 7:52 a.m. ET Tuesday but will not be fully visible in North America until moonrise. This year’s strawberry moon is the first of two consecutive supermoons.
