Catch a Special Moonrise Tonight!

Is this a sign we're entering the Summer of Love, Part II?

For the first time since the much-romanticized summer of 1967, a full moon — a "Strawberry Moon," no less — will rise on the summer solstice this year, according to the weather investigators at EarthSky.org

The Old Farmer's Almanac is calling it "a rare event, indeed."

Don't get too excited: The full moon in June is always called a Strawberry Moon. (It reportedly got its name from Algonquin tribes who used it as a signal to begin gathering the season's ripening fruit.) Also: The moon won't actually turn pink Monday night, from what we can gather.

However, it will be kind of "amber colored," according to the Old Farmer's Almanac, due to an oddly symmetrical dance between the moon and sun.

"By landing exactly on the solstice, this Full Moon doesn’t just rise as the Sun sets but is opposite the Sun in all other ways too," the Old Farmer's Almanac reports. "The Sun gets super high so this Moon must be super-low. Even at its loftiest at 1 AM, it’s downright wimpy-low. This forces its light through thicker air, which also tends to be humid this time of year, and the combination typically makes it amber colored."

For this reason, the Strawberry Moon of June 2016 would perhaps be more aptly named the "Honey Moon," the Almanac reports.
