Strawberry moon over Bremen: A heavenly spectacle awaits us!

A very special spectacle awaits us in the night sky in Bremen: The "strawberry moon" shines over the city on Wednesday, June 11, 2025 and enchants everyone who ventures up. The term "strawberry moon" is traditional and has its origin in the harvest time of the strawberries, which begins in June. So it refers less to the color of the moon itself, but much more to the season and the associated fruit facility, as butenunbinnen.de explained.

The best view of this fascinating full moon offers the metal stallion on the Bremener Müllberg. Astronomer Andreas Vogel from the Olbers Planetarium recommends this location for an unforgettable view of the strawberry moon. By the way, for everyone who longs for a particularly intensive sight: the moon will be flat on the horizon and appears particularly large and impressive after leaving.

The nightly shine and its special features

The strawberry moon is expected to open in the east around 9:30 p.m. A look at the height will be worthwhile! It has a distance of around 400,000 kilometers to Earth, whereby they fluctuate depending on the different attractions between the earth's interior, moon and sun. This fascinating distance is part of the stimulus that the moon arouses in us, such as [Spiegel.de] (https://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/weltall/mond-erdbeermond-im-juni-er- and-wann-er-vestable-a--a--a-b0e-b17c0-8112-4f14e8B97) emphasized.

Especially in summer, the moon often shines in yellowish, oranges or pale pink tones, while it usually appears silvery-white in the winter months. For many people, the full moon is more than just an astronomical event; It also has an impact on their activities. Despite the modern science that has refuted many myths around the moon, many still plan their appointments according to the lunar calendar.

The visibility of the moon can also be influenced by the weather. Clouds could cloud the view of this phenomenon, but the likelihood is good that the strawberry moon still shines.
