Strawberry Moon shines behind the Temple of Poseidon
.
On Wednesday, the captivating Strawberry Moon rose dramatically behind the ancient Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion on the Greek coast, drawing the attention of skywatchers worldwide.
.
The full moon in June is traditionally known as the Strawberry Moon, coinciding with the ripening of strawberries for harvest.
.
However, this year, the moon appeared unusually low in the sky, casting a stunning red-pink hue as it passed through the thickest part of Earth's atmosphere.
.
This rare sight was visible in countries such as New York, Florida, the UK, and Cyprus.
.
The Temple of Poseidon, built in the 5th century B.C., stands majestically on a cliff overlooking the Aegean Sea. It’s a popular spot for tourists and moon enthusiasts, especially during rare celestial events like this one.
.
This year’s Strawberry Moon was particularly significant, as it reached the lowest point seen from the Northern Hemisphere in decades. This phenomenon won’t occur again until 2043.
