Strawberry Moon stuns skies across Yorkshire

On a clear night in Yorkshire, many people were amazed to see the full Strawberry Moon shining brightly in the sky. This moon looked different from the usual full moon because it appeared larger and had beautiful orange and red colors. The reason for this unique appearance was that the moon was at its lowest point in the sky, a rare event that has not happened since 2006 and will not happen again until 2043. The Strawberry Moon gets its name from the time of year it appears, which is early summer when strawberries are ready to be harvested. This name comes from indigenous American traditions that linked the full moon to the changing seasons and the natural world. The moon’s low position made it look much bigger and closer to the Earth, creating a stunning sight for people across Yorkshire and the rest of the UK. Many residents took photos and shared their excitement about witnessing this rare lunar event. The sky was a deep blue, and the moon’s warm colors lit up the night, sometimes appearing behind lighthouses or silhouetted by trees. This event reminded people of the beauty of nature and the special moments that happen in the sky. It was a chance to pause and enjoy the wonders of the universe, connecting us to the cycles of the Earth and the traditions of the past.
