'Strawberry moon' to illuminate skies on Tuesday Transcript

Speaker 1: (00:00) Be sure to look up in the sky tonight and tomorrow. The June full moon is a super moon, nicknamed the strawberry moon, and it's already lighting up the night sky. Speaker 1: (00:08) You'll have to wait until sunset Wednesday to see it. And it will not be strawberry red. The name comes from indigenous groups in the northeast who saw this moon as a sign strawberries were ripe and ready to pick. That's going to be exciting. Speaker 2: (00:20) Yeah, it's going to be pretty nice. We should get a good view of it. It's called the super moon because the moon is closest to earth in the moon's orbit right now. Speaker 1: (00:29) Ooh. Speaker 2: (00:29) So it'll appear about 14% bigger than it usually does.
