This Wednesday evening, June 11, catch one of the most dramatic moonrises Boston will see for decades. The June 2025 Strawberry Moon will rise low over the eastern horizon under clear skies, appearing extra large and golden — the result of a rare lunar standstill that won't repeat until 2043.
The moon reaches its lowest rising point in nearly 20 years, creating an optical illusion where it looks enormous near the horizon. It’s not a supermoon, but it might feel like one.
Moonrise in Boston: 9:18pm EDT
Best places to watch the moonrise (east-facing views):
Whether you're stargazing solo or bringing friends, this is your best chance until 2043 to see the moon rise this low — and this spectacular — over Boston.
