Once in a strawberry moon


Monday brought the summer solstice, which marks the beginning of the season and a chance to soak in copious amounts of sunshine, according to CNN.com.
The solstice is celebrated by a variety of cultures worldwide.
As if this day wasn't already a wonderful excuse to run outside, Monday also featured a full "strawberry moon" — the name comes from the belief that strawberry-picking season is at its peak during this time of the year, according to the Farmer's Almanac.
For the first time since 1967, the longest day of the year will coincide with a "strawberry moon," the Daily Mail noted.
Monday's full moon, which is also called the Mead Moon or the Rose Moon, comes on the only night in the month when the moon is in the sky all evening long. Normally, the moon shares some time with the daytime sky during June, according to Sky and Telescope.
