Get Out and Go See the Full Strawberry Supermoon

The full moon tonight is ripe for picking. The June full moon is also known as the “Strawberry Moon” and is the last supermoon of this year.

The moon will appear bigger and brighter than usual, reflecting back to Earthlings with its reddish-rose color, unveiling itself in the Eastern sky.

Tonight is the night to get outside and enjoy the sights. Perhaps grab a strawberry supermoon doughnut from Krispy Kreme that is available today only, to make it even more memorable?

Get Up Really Early to Catch the Super Flower Blood Moon

The early morning hours will bring skygazers the delight we have been waiting months for, as we get a triple dipped treat from the universe right in time to kick off summer. There is a “Super Flower Blood Moon” to illuminate the skies and this one is not a sight to be missed.

The blood red supermoon rising is also the only total lunar eclipse of the year, so get outside and go look. The blood moon, or lunar eclipse, happens when the Moon moves through the deepest part of Earth’s shadow, or umbra, taking on the deep crimson glow from the bending of light in our atmosphere.

The lunar eclipse event kicks off at 4:47 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time, so you’ll have to get up early and stay awake to catch the full eclipse at 7:18 a.m.

Alternatively, if you’re a night owl, just stay up to catch this beautiful wonder. Who needs sleep anyway when there are celestial events like this happening?

This is all due to the perfect timing of the universe to bring these events in motion. Trust the timing.
