When's the next full moon? Here's what to know after June's strawberry moon
The strawberry moon appeared Tuesday, June 10. The moon in June is also one of the lowest-hanging of the year, as seen from the Northern Hemisphere.
While the strawberry moon does appear with a reddish tone, the name derives from the Native American Algonquian tribes, who lived in the northwestern United States. The Ojibwe, Dakota and Lakota tribes also used the name, which marked the wild strawberries in June, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac.
Here's everything to know about catching a glimpse of the strawberry moon.
According to space.com, while the strawberry moon typically happens in June, this year we are in a major lunar standstill — the two-year period of the lunar cycle when the moon's tilted orbit is at its greatest inclination relative to the celestial equator.
The strawberry moon's low altitude will be made more extreme by the lunar standstill, which means we'll experience the lowest full moon in over a decade.
The following dates list out the rest of the expected full moons in 2025:
July 10- Buck Moon
Aug. 9- Sturgeon Moon
Sept. 7- Harvest Moon
Oct. 6- Hunter's Moon
Nov. 5- Beaver Moon
Dec. 4- Cold Moon

US to require up to $15K bond from visitors in new visa trial
Some visitors to the U.S. may soon have to post a bond of up to $15,000 before they are granted a visa to visit the country. In a notice posted to the Federal Register on Monday, the State Department said it would begin a 12-month trial of visa bonds starting in 15 days. The requirement could apply to business and leisure visitors from countries the department identifies as "having high visa overstay rates, where screening and vetting information is deemed deficient," according to the notice. The pilot program will require some visa applicants to post a bond of $5,000-$15,000 to obtain a business or tourist visa to the U.S., and will require applicants to travel via certain U.S. airports, which have not yet been announced. Citizens of Canada, Mexico, and countries that are part of the Visa Waiver Program are exempt from the bond requirement. For those who are required to post a bond, funds will be returned to travelers if they depart in accordance with the terms of their visas. A similar pilot program was launched in November 2020 during the last months of President Donald Trump's first term in office, but it was not fully implemented due to the drop in global travel associated with the pandemic. The State Department was unable to estimate the number of visa applicants who could be affected by the change. Many of the countries targeted by Trump's travel ban also have high rates of visa overstays, including Chad, Eritrea, Haiti, Myanmar and Yemen. USA TODAY reached out to the State Department for additional comment. Numerous countries in Africa, including Burundi, Djibouti, and Togo, also had high overstay rates, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection data from fiscal year 2023. Contributing: Reuters

The fire started shortly before 6:20 a.m. Aug. 4 under an eastbound train at the Newport PATH Station, Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ) said in a statement to USA TODAY. Watch: Passengers flee PATH train in New Jersey after fire erupts on tracks 13 people treated for smoke inhalation The transportation agency said passengers were evacuated to the platform while the train filled with smoke. Thirteen people were treated for smoke inhalation at the scene, of which nine were later transported to the hospital for further evaluation, PANYNJ said in an update around 9:45 a.m. Authorities did not say what sparked the fire, except that an investigation into it is ongoing. The train lines connecting Hoboken in New Jersey to World Trade Center in Manhattan and Journal Square to Midtown Manhattan were suspended as a result of the fire. However, several other lines connecting New Jersey to Manhattan were running, according to updates by PATH on social media.

Celebrity Cruises ship drifts off coast of Italy during power outage
Passengers aboard the Celebrity Cruises' Constellation experienced a few hours of neither air conditioning nor electricity during a brief power outage. A spokesperson for Royal Caribbean Group, the line's parent company, confirmed the 2,170-passenger ship lost power for under three hours on Saturday, Aug. 2, as the team "addressed a technical issue" in an email to USA TODAY. The cruise line did not provide details on what sort of issue or repair was required. It's not uncommon for cruise ships to lose power, with most having emergency generators independent of the ship's main source of power as a backup plan. Situated on the upper decks, they can provide power for emergency lighting, elevators, radios and fire detection systems, and even re-start engines if necessary, according to Royal Caribbean's website. The ship was sailing to Messina, Sicily from Kotor, Montenegro and was right off the coast of Italy when the incident occurred, leaving it to drift for a short period of time, according to CruiseMapper. Satellite tracking data at the time showed the ship's speed briefly dropped down to as low as 1.1 mph, as reported by Cruise Hive. The cruise line said the ship was close enough to the coast to still be within range of cell phone service. "We've been communicating with our guests directly," the spokesperson added. Part of Celebrity's more upscale Millennium class, the Constellation is currently sailing an 11-day, one-way cruise departing from Ravenna, Italy on July 28. It is scheduled to visit Naples and Livorno before ending in Civitavecchia-Rome on Aug. 8.
