Residents of Wales were treated to a rare sight on Wednesday evening as the full Strawberry Moon made a stunning appearance in the sky. This phenomenon, not seen so clearly for nearly 20 years, captivated people across the region.
The Strawberry Moon is the name given to the full moon in June, derived from the harvest season of indigenous Americans when wild strawberries were ready to be picked. On Tuesday, a full moon was observed sitting low in the sky, appearing larger than usual. However, Wednesday marked the peak of this event, caused by a major lunar standstill that last occurred in 2006.
This unique opportunity to witness the moon so low in the sky will not happen again until 2043, making it a truly special and memorable experience for all who gazed up at the celestial wonder.
