A full strawberry moon is rising next week. Here's what to know and how it will look

SAN FRANCISCO — The first full moon of the official summer season will rise next week, giving stargazers a sweet glimpse of June's strawberry moon.

Despite its name, you shouldn't expect the moon to visually look pink or red in color as it rises above the horizon Wednesday night.

The full moon will appear full for about three days, from June 10 through the morning of June 12, according to NASA.

June's full moon is the first since the beginning of meteorological summer.

Why is it called a strawberry moon?

Each full moon has a set of nicknames, popularized by farmer's almanacs and connected to the seasons when they take place.

For example, May's flower moon got its name because it reflects the abundant blooming across North America during May, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac
