Presented by Classic Brands

The summer solstice occurred last Sunday and the full moon of June 23-26 is the last supermoon of the calendar year 2021.

A supermoon occurs when the moon approaches the earth at its closest point during orbit.

The full moon for June arrived at 2:40pm EDT on Wednesday.

According to Space.com, this supermoon is also known as the “Strawberry Supermoon” because it falls during the strawberry harvesting season in the northeastern United States.
