Summary
The article showcases stunning photographs of June's Strawberry Moon — the first full moon of summer and the lowest-hanging full moon of the year for Northern Hemisphere observers. It explains the astronomical reason behind the moon's low trajectory (the full moon sits opposite the sun, and during the summer solstice the sun is at its highest, making the full moon its lowest) and features a gallery of reader-submitted and photographer-captured images from around the world.
