Just as the Supermoon took over the night skies across the world, Twitter was filled with photographs of the beautiful “Strawberry Moon” as it was seen worldwide from Sunday evening to Wednesday morning.
According to Nasa, the phenomenon of a Supermoon occurs when the Moon’s orbit is closest to Earth which makes the satellite appear brighter and bigger than usual.
Historically, the last full moon of June is called the “Strawberry Moon” because its appearance coincides with the ripening of June bearing strawberries that are traditionally harvested by Native American tribes of northeastern US around mid-June. However, since in some places the enlarged moon appears red or pink in colour, its association with the strawberry became even more popular.

Awakened by the train’s shuddering as it stumbles through western Ukraine on rails that feel more like debris than metal. Most are asleep, unaware of tonight’s strawberry moon watching over them as they speed toward an uncertain future. pic.twitter.com/RtghtcMvnK

🍓🍯🍻🌹 The June full moon is the sweetest of the year – called Strawberry, Honey, Mead, or Rose Moon.
It’s also a supermoon! The Moon appears a little bigger and brighter than average because it’s closer to Earth in its elliptical orbit. https://t.co/em5wrKIxAt pic.twitter.com/zkiTtwRDag
