On Monday (June 20), the full moon will fall on the solstice for the first time since 1948. To celebrate this special occasion, the online Slooh Community Observatory will broadcast views of the moon live from the Canary Islands.
The broadcast starts at 8 p.m. EDT (0000 GMT Tuesday, June 21) and will include discussion between Slooh host Paul Cox and Slooh astronomer Bob Berman. You can watch the Slooh webcast at Slooh.com, and ask questions via Twitter @Slooh. Viewers can also submit questions via Slooh's chat room, where you can also control the StarShare camera live and snap night-sky views.
You can also watch the summer solstice full moon webcast on Space.com, courtesy of Slooh. The show will also include special guests who will discuss the importance of the summer solstice, which is the longest day of the year and the official beginning of summer in the Northern Hemisphere.

You know...
...IT!
It’s also the first “Strawberry Moon” since 1967. Interesting years, 1948 and 1967.
I like how you think :)
I will look out my window thank you. But it will look like it does every month full moon.
Dammit, I KNEW Trump was racist.
Not so!

But it won't be in the same place as last month.
Oh my, yes. Those were both very important years.
I stand corrected. Cannot wait to see that rise over NYC skyline. /s
I thought the Full Moon on the Summer Solstice WAS the “Strawberry Moon.”
Now I’m all confusticated.
The full moon in June is the Strawberry Moon, it happens every year but seldom on the Summer Solstice. 1948 was the last time the two occurred almost simultaneously. 1967, they occurred within hours of each other. Other years, they’re not on the same date.
February 29th, to be exact ...
No WONDER I'm strange
Very interesting.
Overcast here as it just coincidentally happens during many rare astronomical events.
Very interesting.
My father’s first cousin had an adopted son who was born on February 29, 1948. (She married a widower and adopted his son by his first marriage.) I never met the son.
“1948 was the last time the two occurred almost simultaneously. 1967, they occurred within hours of each other.”
1948 Israel became a country, Israel War of Independence.
1967 Israel’s Six Day War.
2016? Probably WW3 involving Israel according to a 15 year old Israeli boy who died for 15 minutes last September and came back.
