Space.com on MSNJune's Strawberry Moon treats skywatchers to a rare low-riding show (photos)June's full 'Strawberry Moon' lit up the night sky last night, treating skywatchers to a rare once-in-a-18-year display as it rode low across the southern horizon.
The strawberry moon reached its peak on Wednesday, June 11, at 3:44 a.m. ET, NASA said. June's full moon is happening in Sagittarius, the sign which is a mix of "passion, curiosity, intensity, and adaptability," according to Allure.

June's full moon will be at its lowest point since 2006 since we're in the middle of a major lunar standstill.
June’s full moon, known as the strawberry moon, will rise on the evening of Tuesday, June 10. It will appear extraordinarily low in the sky.
This morning’s Strawberry Moon was especially low because we are currently sitting in something called a Major Lunar Standstill. This is a cycle of about 18 years that occurs with the moon’s orbit, and we are in the part of the cycle that causes the moon to cut a very low arc over the horizon.
