For the first time in almost 70 years, June's full moon and the summer solstice will fall on the same day as a full 'strawberry moon', two events that only coincide roughly once in a generation.

The summer solstice is the day with the most amount of sunshine as the sun will reach the highest point throughout the course of the year.

Despite its name, the strawberry moon will glow more of a warm amber color than pink or red.

The Old Farmer's Almanac's Bob Berman told News 10, “The sun gets super high so this moon must be super-low. Even at its loftiest at 1 a.m., it’s downright wimpy-low. This forces its light through thicker air, which also tends to be humid this time of year, and the combination typically makes it amber colored.”

According to the Old Farmer's Almanac, the last time a full moon landed on the summer solstice was in 1948.
