The full moon isn’t called the Strawberry Moon due to its color but because it happens during the strawberry harvest season.

NASA said supermoon is “either a new or full moon that occurs when the Moon is within 90% of perigee, its closest approach to Earth.”

The next supermoon will be on July 13.
