Full Strawberry Moon
This name was universal to every Algonquin tribe. However, in Europe they called it the Rose Moon. Also because the relatively short season for harvesting strawberries comes each year during the month of June . . . so the full Moon that occurs during that month was christened for the strawberry!
Also......
An unusually long total lunar eclipse occured last night as the moon turned full (June 15) for skywatchers across parts of South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia.
At its peak, the total eclipse of the moon lasted 100 minutes, making it the longest lunar eclipse in 11 years. The eclipse was not visible from North America, but observers across a wide swath of the Eastern Hemisphere had a chance to see the lunar event.

Funny how many different 'moon' names people have come up with around the world.
