The moon will reach its peak illumination at 7:57 p.m. ET on Monday after moonrise, the moment the satelliteâs upper edge emerges above the horizon in the east, EarthSky reports. The strawberry moon will appear a day after apogee, the point when the moon is farthest from Earth. When a full moon occurs near apogee, itâs often called a micromoon â and Juneâs will be the second smallest of 2026. A total solar eclipse will occur this summer.
