The full moon that will rise Sunday will be the largest of the year, a “supermoon” caused by the slightly asymmetrical orbit of the moon around Earth.
Sunday’s supermoon will reach its peak fullness at 7:32 a.m. EDT. The moon’s closest approach of 2013 will be about 221,300 miles (357,000 km) from Earth, about 20 minutes before peak fullness.
Traditionally, the full moon of June is known as the Full Strawberry Moon, because June is strawberry-harvesting season, according to the Farmer’s Almanac. (In Europe, June’s full moon was traditionally known as the Rose Moon).
