Keep your eyes on the sky for a special viewing this week!
What is known as the “Strawberry Moon” appeared for the first time on Sunday night and will reach its full brightness on Tuesday.
Despite the name, the moon will not look exactly like a strawberry.
The name comes from some Indians because the moon appears during the strawberry harvest season.
Astronomers call it the “supermoon” because it occurs when it orbits the Earth.
This means that the moon will look about 17% bigger and 15% brighter.
