This month's full Strawberry Moon is upon us! Here's how you can watch the lowest full moon in a decade grace the sky on June 11 from the comfort of your couch.
June's full moon rides surprisingly low across the southern sky thanks to a rare phenomenon known as a major lunar standstill, which occurs when the sun's gravitational influence drags the moon's tilted orbit into its greatest inclination relative to our planet's celestial equator. During this time, the moon's orbit is at its most extreme, causing it to ride unusually low — or high — across the sky depending on the time of year, while rising and setting at its most southerly and northerly points on the horizon.
