The Moon will be full at approx 00.52 hrs on June the 14th
this is known as the Strawberry Moon
“to mark the ripening of ”June-bearing” strawberries that are ready to be gathered”
this full Moon will occur approx 12 hrs before Lunar perigee
this is the point in the Moons orbit when it is closest to the Earth
as the Moon sets at approx 03.00 hrs the Moon illusion will occur
this is when the Moon will appear larger than it actually is due to the thickness of the
Earths atmosphere
if you plan to observe / image this event remember to dress for the conditions
