Last night there was a super strawberry moon, which is a doubly important celestial event. The super part means the moon is at its closest approach to the Earth whilst at the same time being a full moon, and strawberry, means it has occurred during the month of June. According to the Farmer's Almanac, it is called strawberry as it occurs during harvest season.
