The first ''super moon'' of the year will be the night of Tuesday, June 14, 2022 if you want to photograph it.

When is the ‘Strawberry Moon?’

The “Strawberry Super Moon” will occur on Tuesday, June 14, 2022 at 11:52 Universal Time. That’s the precise time it will be 100% illuminated by the Sun, though it will appear to the eye to be full—or thereabouts—for a couple of nights before and after. You can look at the Moon any day this week and it will look big and bright—and be “up” most of the night.

So what’s the fuss about seeing it at a particular time? Moonrise. Only on the night of the full Moon is it possible to see the Moon appear on the horizon during dusk. Since it rises about 50 minutes later each night it rises during the day just before the full Moon and after dark after the full Moon. The impact is lost. The Moon always looks at its delicate best during moonrise and moonset close to the time of it being at its “full” phase.
