Skygazers got a special treat Thursday as the “strawberry moon” glowed overhead. The nickname came from Native American tribes whose members harvested strawberries after June’s full moon, the Farmer’s Almanac reported.

The strawberry full moon rises behind the ancient marble temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion, about 45 miles south of Athens, on Thursday, June 24, 2021.
