Skywatchers around the world were treated from Tuesday night to the beginning of Wednesday by a rare and radiant lunar spectacle – a strawberry month that shone with soft pink and orange shades and looked unusually low in the sky.
Where it was best seen
Warm tones of the moon were particularly visible: New York City, Florida, Great Britain, Cyprus, Italy and India.
Rare lunar event
It wasn’t just another strawberry month. It appeared that it was exceptionally low in the sky.
The full moon reached the summit of the brightness at 3:44 am on Wednesday, according to the farmer’s almanac
This phenomenon was caused by the main stop of the lunar stand, which is a rare astronomical event that happens only every 18.6 years
What is lunar air conditioning?
It occurs when the orbit of the moon reaches its maximum tilt due to the ground
This causes the moon to rise
As a result, the moon appears in the sky as usual in the northern hemisphere
Key data:
- Last peace: 2006
- Another air conditioning: 2043
This year’s Strawberry Moon identified the second year of the contemporary lunar rest cycle.
Why is it called strawberry Moon
Despite its reddish shade, “Strawberry Moon” is not named for its color.
The name comes from:
Seasonal ripening of wild strawberries in parts of the northern hemisphere
Created tribes Algonquin in the northeast US.
It also uses Ojibwe, Dakota and Lakota Peoples
