BBC News12-06-2025
People in Yorkshire marvelled as a full Strawberry Moon made its most vivid appearance in almost two decades. The phenomenon lit up skies across the UK on Wednesday night, prompting residents to capture the moment on camera. It hung low in the sky on Tuesday - making it appear larger than usual - and took on hues of orange and red as it approached a major lunar standstill on Wednesday.The name for June's full moon relates to the start of summer and the beginning of the strawberry harvest season observed by indigenous Americans.
There will not be a chance to see the moon this low in the sky again for 18 years.
