A full Strawberry Moon will grace UK skies tonight, coupled with a rare phenomenon not seen in almost 20 years.
Stargazers in the northern hemisphere spotted an almost full Moon sitting very low in the southern sky, making it appear much larger than usual overnight on Tuesday. Caused by an event known as a ‘major lunar standstill’, Wednesday night marks the peak of the full Moon. The opportunity to see the Moon this low in the sky will not arise again until 2043.
