5 stunning supermoon photos of the Strawberry moon in June 2024

We’ve seen some absolutely spectacular images of moons in recent years, like the so-called “blue moon” and the “buck moon.”

Now? It’s time to look at what’s called the “strawberry moon,” one that’s a supermoon that popped up the day after the summer solstice in 2024.
