Strawberry Moon


An iPhone pic of June 11th's “Strawberry Moon” (apparently an Algonquin term, not a color reference). 

The Moon looks pretty white tonight; not pink. We’ve been at Major Lunar Standstill for the past year, meaning the Moon is swinging as far north to south as it possibly can: north at New Moon and south at Full Moon. Even though the extremities of the swings were reached earlier this year, the Moon is still swinging pretty wide: -29 degrees on June 11th, which is almost as far south as it can possibly get.
