On June 11, skywatchers enjoyed a breathtaking celestial event as the Strawberry Moon graced the horizon. The full moon, unusually large and bathed in a warm golden glow, was seen at its lowest point in 18 years.
This rare sight is due to a cosmic phenomenon known as a major lunar standstill. It shifted the moon lower in the night sky, creating a mesmerizing view that experts say will not be repeated until 2043.
It felt like a scene from a blockbuster sci-fi movie—unexpected, magical, and totally Instagram-worthy! Whether you're an astronomy buff or simply love marveling at nature's wonders, this event reminds us why we keep looking up. 🌕✨
