The Northern Borders Region of Saudi Arabia experienced a unique celestial event on the evening of June 11, as the Strawberry Moon made its appearance. This phenomenon, known as the full moon of Dhul-Hijjah, is a rare occurrence that happens once every 18.6 years.

Experts have revealed that the Strawberry Moon's appearance is connected to the Moon's extreme southern declination, which is part of the Metonic Cycle lasting around 19 years. The next time this event is expected to take place is in 2043.

As the Moon rose, it displayed a stunning golden-pink color due to atmospheric conditions, leading to its nickname 'Strawberry Moon,' often used to refer to the final full moon of spring in certain cultures.

The Northern Borders Region is known for being an ideal spot to witness astronomical events, thanks to its wide horizons and minimal light pollution that improve the visibility of the night sky.
