‘Strawberry Moon' to illuminate Kuwait on June 11
KUWAIT CITY, June 5: The Al-Ojairi Scientific Center announced on Wednesday that a full moon, known as the 'Strawberry Moon', will illuminate Kuwait's skies on June 11, reports Al-Seyassah daily. In a press statement, the center explained that the name comes from the strawberries that ripen in the Northern Hemisphere during this time. The month of June will witness several notable astronomical events. On June 7, the moon will reach its farthest point from Earth in its orbit, appearing slightly smaller than usual, and this phenomenon is called the 'moon at apogee.' On June 19, the moon will come into conjunction with the planet Saturn, passing about 23 degrees apart when the moon is 23 days old. This month will also witness the summer solstice, the longest day of the year, when the sun reaches its highest point in the sky. This day, June 21, marks the official start of summer in the Northern Hemisphere. Jupiter will be in conjunction with the sun on June 24, passing close to the sun as it moves to the far side of the solar system. The following day, a new moon will appear, coinciding with the moon's perigee, its closest point to Earth, at a distance of approximately 1.01140 astronomical units from the sun. On June 30, the moon and Mars will share the same ascendant, with the moon passing 12 degrees north of Mars while being five days old.
