A rare sighting of the Strawberry Moon has been captured over the East Midlands region. The phenomenon, which was last seen in 2006 and will not be repeated until 2043, was visible on Wednesday night and Thursday morning.
The term “Strawberry Moon” does not refer to its pinkish hues, but rather marks the harvest season of indigenous Americans due to its appearance coinciding with wild strawberry ripening. BBC Weather Watchers captured stunning images of the event from their vantage points.
These photographs showcase the beauty of the Strawberry Moon, making the wait worthwhile for those who observed it. The rare occurrence has sparked interest among locals and enthusiasts, who will have to wait until 2043 to witness this spectacle again.
