The Amazing Strawberry Moon!

June's full moon, known as the 'Strawberry Moon', put on quite a show this week with its reddish glow.

The moon's low position on the southern horizon caused the atmospheric scattering which made this full moon appear red.

This effect was particularly noticeable this year because the moon was at its lowest point in nearly two decades.

Experts explain that this phenomenon is similar to the redshift seen during sunrises and sunsets, a beautiful celestial event.
