The strawberry moon has nothing to do with the colour of the full moon in the month of June, but it is related to ancient traditions.
People across the globe were treated to the wonderful sight of the stunning strawberry full moon which glistened in the night sky over the weekend. The strawberry moon, which is also known as the rose moon, was captured by people rising above the Empire State Building, behind Stonehenge and at various other places. Internet users shared beautiful pictures of the glowing moon, which appeared pink in colour and shined radiantly in the night sky.

According to CNN, the strawberry moon has nothing to do with the colour of the full moon in the month of June, but it is related to ancient traditions. It got its name from Native American tribes "to mark the ripening of 'June-bearing' strawberries that are ready to be gathered," as per The Old Farmer's Almanac, which notes, "As flowers bloom and early fruit ripens, June is a time of great abundance for many".
