IMAGE: The moon neither looks like strawberry nor is it pink, but according to NASA, America's Algonquin Indian tribe called it 'strawberry moon' because it coincided with the strawberry harvest.

 

IMAGE: According to NASA, it is said to be the lowest full moon of the year, rising at just 23.3 degrees above the horizon.
