Strawberry Moon photo from San Diego goes viral, Reddit users say ‘copyright this immediately'
A rare celestial phenomenon made its presence felt in the skies over the United States in the early hours of June 11. The June full moon, also known as the 'Strawberry Moon' made an appearance in the night skies. Unlike its name, the moon does not appear to be pinkish. Rather, an event known as a 'major lunar standstill' gives it a warm, golden hue.
A photo of the moon rising over San Diego has grabbed attention on Reddit. Titled, 'Full Strawberry Moon rising behind the Mount Helix Cross tonight,' the image was posted by a handle called Evgeny Yorobe Photography.
Giving out the details of how the snap was taken, the caption said, 'Tonight's Full "Strawberry" Moon rising behind the Mount Helix Cross. Single exposure captured from the Quarry Loop in Mission Trails, 6.25 miles away from the Cross. Nikon z8 and Tamron 150-600 g2, f6.3 1/15 sec ISO 250.'
The photo garnered a lot of appreciation from Reddit users. One account commented, 'Wow! What a stunning photo! Good job!'
Another asked the photographer how they had managed to make the moon look so huge. 'It's through lens compression, lining up the moon with my foreground from as far away as possible with as long of a lens as possible. For this shot I was 6.25 miles away from the Cross in Mission Trails, shooting at 600mm.'
'Imagine how beautiful this will be when it's littered with high rise apartments!' a comment read.
One person advised, 'You should copyright this immediately.'
Historically different names of the full moon are used to keep track of seasons. June's full moon is called the 'Strawberry Moon' to denote the ripening time for 'June-bearing' strawberries and other fruits. The name has been used by the Native American Algonquian tribes living in the northeastern part of the US as well as the Ojibwe, Dakota, and Lakota peoples, according to alamanac.com.
The Strawberry Moon will appear larger due to a lunar standstill. It refers to the moon reaching the extremes of its orbit around the Earth. Such a situation occurs every 18.6 years. This year's moon will be the lowest full moon in almost 20 years. Another lunar standstill will not happen till 2043.
It is the June full moon, which aligns with the summer harvest season.
It reached its peak at 3:44 am Eastern Time on June 11.
It will take place in 2043.

‘This is what our roads have come to': Mumbai resident's Reddit post on filthy streets goes viral
A concerned resident of Mumbai's Oshiwara area has taken to Reddit to express frustration over the deteriorating state of sanitation in the locality. The post, which includes seven photographs of roadside garbage piles and construction debris, has gone viral with over 800 upvotes, drawing significant public attention to an issue that many believe is both a civic and societal failure. 'I'm writing this out of genuine concern and frustration,' the user wrote. 'I am a resident of Behraum Baug, Oshiwara, and it has become a common sight to see garbage dumped right on the roadside and even on the dividers. Piles of plastic, food waste, construction debris you name it. It's not just an eyesore anymore; it's a serious health hazard, especially with the monsoon around the corner.' Highlighting the implications for public health, the user wrote, 'This is turning into a breeding ground for diseases, mosquitoes, rodents, and foul smell everywhere. Every civilian walks past it, elderly people live near it. It's disgusting.' The post also raises questions about the role of local authorities. 'Is the richest municipal corporation of India even aware of what's going on? Is anyone inspecting these areas? Are there no dustbins or is this just sheer apathy? It is 2025 till when are we going to struggle with the basics like roads and proper waste management?' The resident also acknowledged the public's role in the problem, writing, 'But honestly, we also need to look at ourselves. People in the area are responsible for being so careless. Is it so hard to carry garbage a little further to a bin or wait for collection services?' The post concluded with an open appeal for suggestions: 'This isn't a rant for the sake of complaining. I need to know if there is a proper grievance portal to get this issue solved. This is what our roads have come to—piles of garbage, zero accountability. byu/Select-Bread2173 inmumbai The post prompted an influx of responses from fellow citizens, many offering potential solutions and personal anecdotes. One user suggested leveraging social media to engage with the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), 'Write a complaint to the BMC on Twitter. Call them if you can. We've had similar problems in our area and they're pretty good at cleaning up quickly. BMC even stationed someone at a problem spot for a few days, but things went back to how they were. I doubt the BMC can do anything here—it's the people. They have complete disregard for their surroundings. Changing that would mean changing habits, and that's no small task.' Another comment pointed to systemic issues, stating, 'I have been seeing this for the past 33 years. It's a cocktail of no garbage collection services for slum-dwellers and a general disregard for cleanliness among people. Add to that builders illegally dumping construction debris and the garbage mound only grows.' A more practical suggestion came from a user who recommended a government app, 'There is one app—Swachhata MoHUA. If you click a picture of the garbage and fill out their form, someone from the government usually comes to clean the area within 24 hours. That was the case initially; it's worth trying again.' Another user commented, 'I genuinely want to know where do the good engineering minds of this country go? We need serious technological solutions to move mountains of trash. Can no one address the layers upon layers of bureaucracy?'
