Yesterday, a breathtaking Supermoon phenomena for the June's full moon that known as "Strawberry Moon."

The Strawberry Moon was the final full moon for the spring, in addition, it was the biggest and brightest supermoon event of the year.

It was named as Strawberry Moon due to the flourishment of the soft red fruit in the northern hemisphere, however, it also called as the “Hot Moon,” Mead Moon” and “Rose Moon.”

This phenomenon occurs when the moon is in its full stage and lies at the nearest point to the Earth, that’s why the size of the moon appears to be bigger with 14% and brighter with 30%.

The best time for capturing photos of the Supermoon is at the beginning of the night when the moon starts to shine on the horizon immediately after the sunset.

Each full moon carries a certain definitive name related to the season of its shining. For example, January’s full moon is called “Wolf Moon” due to the rise of the wolves’ sounds in cold winter.

Another example is the name of April’s full moon which is “Pink Moon” due to the flourishing of flowers’ colors in the Spring.

The first Supermoon phenomenon for 2022 shone on May 15. Its full moon is called “Flower Moon, in addition, this name is taken from the American Native culture.
