Skygazers got a special treat late Sunday and early Monday as the "strawberry moon" glowed overhead. The nickname came from a Native American tribe whose members harvested wild strawberries after June's full moon, the Farmer's Almanac reported.
Social media users are sharing their photos with the hashtag #strawberrymoon. Here are some of our favorites:
