Strawberry Moon will make a ‘standstill' over Kansas tonight
KANSAS (KSNT) – Kansans will be able to see a special full moon Tuesday night that will come to a 'lunar standstill'. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)/Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) Solar System Ambassador Brenda Culbertson told 27 News that the event only occurs every 18.6 years. She said the full moon on the night of June 10 is referred to as the Strawberry Moon because it happens at the time of year when wild strawberries ripen. Culbertson said the moon could appear redder than usual because of smoke in the atmosphere, as long as the smoke stays in our area. 'The Lunar Standstill occurs when the inclined lunar orbit has Moon at the southernmost point in our skies, opposite [the] Sun's standstill point during the summer solstice, which occurs on June 20-21,' Culbertson said. Gambling machines at Kansas businesses: legal or illegal? The last full moon standstill was in 2006. The Strawberry Moon's low position in the sky is made more extreme by the standstill, resulting in the lowest full moon in over a decade, according to 'Since Full Moon is bright, it will be able to be viewed from most locations with a clear southeast-south horizon, and no special equipment is needed to observe it,' Culbertson said.
