The moon sets at 4:46 a.m. on Tuesday (thanks, summer), and let’s hope there aren’t many clouds, because something spectacular is hiding behind them. The super strawberry moon will appear much larger than usual and have an orange-pink hue.
Photographers, keep your cameras handy, and if you miss it Tuesday morning, you might still have a chance to see it Tuesday evening. But if you have to work Tuesday evening (boo), you’ll just have to wait until July 13 to see another one!
A supermoon occurs when the moon is full and, at the same time, orbits close to Earth. Although you can see a full moon every month, the supermoon appears much larger than usual. There are generally only a few supermoons per year, so it’s truly an incredible spectacle.
