@aHeartSoFull I recently found a katydid and thought of you 😊. I haven't seen a green or insect challenge so I thought she could "bee" on this post. Have a terrific day.
Tonight, June 29, the Strawberry Moon rises as the lowest-hanging full moon in nearly 20 years for Northern Hemisphere viewers.
It will not be matched until 2043.
June full moons follow a low path because they sit opposite the high summer sun near the solstice. This year the effect is stronger due to the low point in the 18.6-year lunar cycle. The moon rises far southeast, traces a shallow arc low in the southern sky, and sets far southwest.
Its low position near the horizon creates the moon illusion, making it appear larger and more dramatic. It may also look orange, red, or golden because its light passes through more atmosphere, scattering blue light and leaving warmer colors. The "Strawberry" name comes from the harvest season, not the color.
The best view is around local moonrise.
This is the kind of stuff old men make for their grandkids and the kids don’t know what to make of it cause it’s not high-speed, low-drag fun
Then 30 years later, they look back and realize what a good man Grandpa was
@omaha_scanner I hope those poor little children are taken care of and feel safe. Of course they will be, but they're gonna need extra special care given what they just witnessed.
@oidonhagouda I've been fluffing my rice with a fork the moment it's done my whole life. My parents were stationed in Japan. Perhaps that's where they learned to fluff their rice 🍚 🤔
