For the first time in nearly 70 years, the [full moon](http://time.com/3479189/blood-moon/?iid=sr-link4) rose on the same day as the [summer solstice](http://time.com/3928453/summer-solstice-2015/?iid=sr-link1). The last time this event occurred [it was 1948](http://time.com/4372889/watch-live-full-moon-summer-solstice/) and Harry S. Truman was president. According to the [Farmer’s Almanac](http://farmersalmanac.com/full-moon-names/), the name for this moon comes from the Algonquin tribe and refers to the short strawberry harvesting season that comes each year during the month of June. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4377127/strawberry-moon-space-station-photos/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4377127/strawberry-moon-space-station-photos/"},"headline":"See the Strawberry Moon from the International Space Station","datePublished":"2016-06-21T18:36:08.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T22:45:11.816Z","description":"The full moon on the summer solstice, as seen by astronaut Jeff Williams","url":"https://time.com/4377127/strawberry-moon-space-station-photos/","keywords":["Space","NASA","Science topic","Astronaut","iss","one-pic"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltdf7ab29995c5bf3e/698898d20a4a22d5479ca2bd/strawberry-moon-space.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Marisa Gertz","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/marisa-gertz/"}],"articleSection":"Science","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltdf7ab29995c5bf3e/698898d20a4a22d5479ca2bd/strawberry-moon-space.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"strawberry-moon-space","caption":"strawberry moon from space","creditText":"Jeff Williams—NASA","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/science/","name":"Science"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/space/","name":"Space"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4377127/strawberry-moon-space-station-photos/","name":"See the Strawberry Moon from the International Space Station"}}]}] ```
