LONDON: A strawberry moon appeared in the skies worldwide last night an event recorded once every year. This June full moon is full of tradition and stories.
The moon will be found a little over the eastern horizon, just after sunset local time. The bright star to the right of our satellite at around the same elevation over the horizon is Antares. Shining high above that star is the planet Saturn, adding to the dazzling display in the night sky.
Amateur astronomers can use this opportunity to view the moon using a small telescope or pair of binoculars. This is a wonderful opportunity for children to learn about the night sky. However, our satellite will be in its full moon phase, which is not the best time to see detail on the surface. Since the side of the moon facing Earth will be nearly entirely visible, this time does present backyard astronomers with a chance to see as much of the moon as possible in a single night.
At the exact moment of the strawberry moon, 12:19 p.m. on June 2, the moon was still beneath the horizon for people living in North America.
