Kuwait's sky last night and through this evening witnessed the appearance of the "Strawberry Moon", the full moon that occurs in June. This year, it reached its lowest point in the sky in decades, marking the end of spring and the beginning of summer in the Northern Hemisphere.
The moon does not appear strawberry-pink. However, it can take on a warm hue, often golden or orange, especially at sunrise, due to its low position near the horizon.
The name was originally linked to the wild strawberry harvest season observed by Native American tribes, particularly in the northeaster of the United States.
This phenomenon has gained popularity in recent years due to media coverage and a growing interest in astrophotography. It is often seen as an opportunity for photography enthusiasts to capture striking images that feature the moon alongside natural landscapes or urban landmarks.
