This month’s full moon will be the lowest in the sky in nearly 20 years, according to astronomy experts.
The June full moon is known as the “strawberry moon,” not because of its color, but it usually occurs around the time of the summer strawberry harvest.
The moon will be visible Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, peaking at approximately 2:45am our time.
WKRC TV in Cincinnati reports the moon is special because it will appear during a major lunar standstill, an event that only takes place between every 18 and 19 years in which the moon appears lower in the sky.
Antares, a bright red star, will also be visible near the moon.
