Watch the full 'Strawberry Moon' rise on June 3

A full moon rises over Arlington, Virginia. A plane passes in front of the moon's bright face.

June's full moon, known as the Strawberry Moon, will be at its fullest on Saturday (June 3) when seen from North America, and it will shine close to the bright star Antares in the constellation Scorpius. The moon will also appear bright and full on Friday and Sunday.

Native American tribes named June's full moon the Strawberry Moon as well as the Berries Ripen Moon, after the seasonal harvesting of fruit, according to Timeanddate.com. Other traditional names for the moon include the Rose Moon and Hot Moon. The Anishinaabeg people call it Waabigonii Giizis, or Blooming Moon, according to the Center for Native American Studies.
