The June full moon is sometimes called the "rose moon," "strawberry moon," or "honey moon" because of its tinted color. Especially when seen from high northern latitudes, the June full moon always stays close to the horizon, where its light is filtered and reddened by the atmosphere. From San Diego, June's full moon reaches a maximum altitude of about 33 degrees above the horizon -- about as high as the sun gets at noon in December.
