The full moon on Sunday will also coincide with Jupiter appearing particularly bright and large in the night sky.
This Sunday is Father's Day, and it's set to be a particularly special one for skywatchers as a full moon will coincide with Jupiter shining brightly.
Traditionally, the full moon in June—the last of spring—is referred to as the"full strawberry moon" in North America, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac, which has been published since 1792. The name originates from the Algonquin Native American group and is a reference to the fact that this time of year was when strawberries were ripe for harvesting in the northeast of the continent—their homeland.
The full moon will not be the only treat this Father's Day. Coincidentally, Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system, will also be particularly large and bright around this time.
