This Monday brings the summer solstice, which marks the beginning of the season and a chance to soak in copious amounts of sunshine.
The solstice is celebrated by a variety of cultures worldwide. Every year, thousands gather at Stonehenge in Wiltshire, England, to rejoice the prospect of sunny summer days.
As if this day wasn't already a wonderful excuse to run outside, Monday will also feature a full "Strawberry" moon -- the name comes from the belief that strawberry-picking season is at its peak during this time of the year, according to the Farmer's Almanac.
Monday's full moon, which is also called the Mead Moon or the Rose Moon, is the only night in the month when the moon is in the sky all evening long. Normally, throughout the June month, the moon shares some time with the daytime sky, according to Sky & Telescope.
