Morgellons - New info for Strawberry Moon

This month's Strawberry Moon is noteworthy!

Why is the Strawberry Moon special this year?

While the Strawberry Moon is usually the lowest full moon of the year, it hasn't appeared so low in the sky since 2006, and won't be again until 2043.

This is because of an event that occurs once every 18.6 years, known as the 'major lunar standstill'.

Across the moon's nearly 20-year-long cycle, it follows a tilted orbit around Earth.

Major and minor lunar standstills occur when the moon rises and sets at its most extreme points on the horizon, appearing unusually low or high in the sky.

During the Strawberry Moon, Earth will be approaching its farthest distance from the Sun in its orbit.

While the moon is officially full on June Wednesday, June 11, it will be visible close to Antares, meaning Mars' rival, which is the brightest star in the Scorpio constellation in the nights leading up to the full moon.

On Monday, June 9, the moon will be visible to the right of the ultra-bright star, at around 10pm

On 10 June, the moon will appear to the left of Antares, but remember, it'll be low in the sky, so to see it will require a clear horizon.

By 11 June, the moon will be in the constellation Sagittarius, even further left of Mars' rival.

When can you see the Strawberry Moon?

To catch this low-down moon, you'll need a low, southern horizon, unobstructed by trees or buildings.

But when will you have the best chance of catching it?

The Strawberry Moon will rise on June 11 about 10.46pm BST, BTS is Britain standard time subtract 5 hour for EST then calculate the other time zones.It will reach its full phase about 8.44am BST. With sunrise at around 4.45am on June 11, it will already be light when it reaches its full lunar phase.

The best time to see the Strawberry Moon will be at dusk on Tuesday (June 10), and the Moon will appear full through both Tuesday and Wednesday night.

BST is Europe time in case there's any question. Check it out if you're able.

Peace,
Jen
