Stunning Strawberry Moon Lights Up the Night Sky

A spectacular full moon, nicknamed the 'Strawberry Moon', graced the night sky this week, appearing reddish due to its low position.

This June's moon showcased an unusually vibrant red hue, a result of its exceptionally low southern horizon placement, a rarity.

Observers across the globe enjoyed the breathtaking view, with the moon reaching peak brightness early Wednesday morning.

The unique coloration, reminiscent of sunrises and sunsets, is caused by the atmosphere's interaction with the moon's light.
