'Strawberry' Moon Shines During Summer Solstice

A full moon rises behind Glastonbury Tor as people gather to celebrate the summer solstice on June 20, 2016 in Somerset, England.

The June full moon was refered to as "Strawberry Moon" by Algonquin tribe of indigenous Americans because it occurred around the time the strawberries were being picked.

Revelers celebrate at Stonehenge on Salisbury Plain in southern England.

The June solstice marks the point when Earth’s northern axis is tipped toward the sun, giving us the longest days and shortest nights of the year.
