Moon watchers and astronomy enthusiasts are in for a treat tonight as the Strawberry Moon rises—bringing more than just a sweet name. This full moon will be the lowest in the sky we've seen in nearly two decades, and it won't occur again until 2043.

While it won’t actually appear pink or taste like strawberries (sorry), the name comes from Native American and European traditions that mark the season of ripening berries. What makes this year’s Strawberry Moon particularly special is its low position in the sky, creating a rare golden glow near the horizon that's perfect for viewing.

So, if you have binoculars, a telescope, or just keen eyesight, head outside now. A camera would be even better! This historic lunar event is a perfect excuse to take a break, look up, and enjoy some cosmic magic while it lasts.

Nbc News spoke to Hiiko Katjaitja, a PhD student in astrophysics, who provided local insight on this celestial event.
