People across Wales were treated to a stunning celestial sight on Wednesday evening, witnessing a phenomenon not seen so clearly in nearly two decades.
Skygazers turned their lenses upward as the full Strawberry Moon lit up the night. This June full moon gets its name from Native American traditions, marking the season when wild strawberries were ready for picking.
On Tuesday, the moon was seen hanging low on the horizon, creating the illusion of a much larger size. But it was Wednesday night that marked its peak, coinciding with a rare event known as a major lunar standstill — a phenomenon last observed in 2006.
This rare alignment means the moon appears unusually low in the sky, a spectacle that won’t happen again until 2043.
