The peculiarity of the Juni full moon is that it appears particularly large and close, which is due to an optical deception. This deception occurs because the moon stands deep in the sky and we can see it on the ground compared to objects, which gives the impression that it is much greater than usual. This fact was used by many photographers who photographed the moon in its full splendor, and they shared their pictures online. Users reported on the fantastic recordings they had taken and encouraged others to go outside and enjoy the sight, such as meindezirk.at documented.

Himmel observers get their money's worth in this great spectacle, because each full moon brings its own special features that are influenced by seasonal changes and weather conditions. It is only to be hoped that the next full moon will offer as beautiful spectacle as the current strawberry moon in the coming month!
