Strawberry Moon over the Temple of Poseidon

Explanation: Did you see the full moon last night? If not, tonight's nearly full moon should be almost as good. Because full moon s are opposite the Sun , they are visible in the sky when the Sun is not -- which should be nearly all night long tonight, clouds permitting. One nickname for June's full moon is the Strawberry Moon , named for when wild strawberries start to ripen in parts of Earth 's northern hemisphere. Different cultures around the globe give this full moon different names , though, including Honey Moon and Rose Moon. In the foreground of this featured image, taken yesterday in Cape Sounion , Greece , is the 2,400 year-old Temple of Poseidon . Next month will the 50th anniversary of the time humans first landed on the Moon.
