The Strawberry Moon: How, when to watch it
Fox News
Stargazers around the world will be able to enjoy the glow of the Strawberry Moon on Thursday night.
In addition, because the sun appears highest in the sky on the summer solstice and full moons are "opposite the sun," a full moon near the summer solstice will be low in the sky, the agency said in a blog post. "Particularly for Europe's higher latitudes, when the full moon is low it shines through more atmosphere, making it more likely to have a reddish color (for the same reasons that sunrises and sunsets are red)," wrote NASA's Gregory Johnson. "For the Washington, D.C. area, on the morning of June 25, 2021, the full moon will reach its highest for the night at 1:39 a.m. EDT, only 24.6 degrees above the southern horizon, the lowest full moon of the year."More Related News
