Strawberry Moon 2025: A Unique Celestial Event to Light Up Aguascalientes

Aguascalientes, Mexico, is preparing for a spectacular celestial event: the Strawberry Moon of 2025. This full moon, the last before the summer solstice, will be visible on June 11th at 4:44 AM (Central Mexico Time). According to the video by TV Azteca Aguascalientes, the moon's name comes from Native American tribes who associated it with the strawberry harvest season. This year's Strawberry Moon will be especially noteworthy due to its unusually low position in the sky, resulting in a larger and brighter appearance near the horizon. "This year, the Strawberry Moon will be exceptionally noticeable," said the narrator in the video, "because it will be at its lowest point in the sky in the last 18 and a half years." The video encourages people to find a location with minimal light pollution for optimal viewing. This unique astronomical event provides a beautiful spectacle and a connection to cultural traditions, making it a memorable occasion for residents of Aguascalientes and astronomy enthusiasts throughout Mexico.
