A strawberry moon peeks through the clouds above a half-finished building prepped for demolition. Native Americans coined the term for the red ambience that adorns the night sky during a full moon in June and the coincidental ripeness of strawberries in the season. The full moon — which reaches the crest of its fullness at 9:08 p.m. ET Friday — comes one day after the summer solstice, the day of the year when the sun appears the highest in the sky for the Northern Hemisphere. Since a full moon is opposite the sun, this strawberry moon will shine lower in the sky than usual, according to NASA. However, the soft reddish glow will do little to rescue the building around the Megenagna area.
