The last Supermoon of 2021 happens Thursday

The Strawberry Moon, the first full moon of summer and the last supermoon of 2021 will shine Thursday, putting on beautiful a show! The moon will be officially full Thursday, it will still look full Wednesday and Friday.  According to the Farmers Almanac, the full moon will reach its peak at 1:40 p.m. on Thursday, but won’t be visible until it rises above the horizon later in the evening.

The full moon will rise in the east shortly after sunset and will set in the west around sunrise. This is the first of four full moons in astronomical summer. You can check the Almanac’s Moonrise and Moonset Calculator for times when you can see it in our area.

Once the full moon has passed, the waning moon will pass by Jupiter and Saturn. Look to the south before sunrise to see the trio. Jupiter is the brightest of the two planets, and it will be left of Saturn. The moon will be below Saturn on June 27 and below Jupiter on June 28.
