Hiya 7chan! (ノ^∇^)

Summer is just around the corner but it has already started to feel like it here! It's the Full Strawberry Moon! 🍓 🌕 This months moon will reach its full illumination tommorow, June 11th at 3:44 AM EDT. So tonight or tommorow will be the best time to view it!

Generally, all June full moons in the northern hemisphere rise and fall low in the sky but the moon will be EXTRA low this year. The lowest in nearly 20 years! The inclination of the moon’s orbit, which undergoes an 18.6-year cycle is currently at its lowest. We are essentially in a lunar stand-still. That reddish tint that also gives the Strawberry Moon its name caused by the increase of interference in Earths atmosphere between where you are viewing and the moon itself is going to be EXTRA reddish this year. Also, depending on where you are and all this Canadian wildfire smoke, this months moon may be EVEN MORE Strawberry (-ee?). 🍓

In other news, we got back from Hawaii and Japan a week ago and had a wonderful time. We also went to see the stationmaster cats which I missed last time and you can see more of on the caturday thread! 🐈 I have been invited to Yellowknife northwest territories in Canada at the end of this month so if any of you know anything about that part of the world, I'd love to hear more before I head out!

I wish you all a wonderful viewing and hope everyone has made their summer plans and are kicking the season off right whether you are planning a weekend BBQ or heading out on an adventure! Enjoy the REALLY REALLY red Strawberry Moon! <3
