The moon is also part of what's called a major lunar standstill, and the next one won't be for another 18.6 years.

This month's full moon phase will occur during the early hours of June 11 for viewers in New York, at 3:44 a.m. EDT (0744 GMT). The exact timing of the event will vary depending on your location on Earth, so be sure to check a trusted website such as TimeandDate.com for specifics about your locale.

Peak illumination of the Strawberry Moon will arrive in Washington at 3:43 a.m. Eastern time on Wednesday. But it will be close enough to full on Tuesday evening that you won’t be able to tell the difference if observing with the naked eye.
