Strawberry Full Moon Visible On June 5-6, The Second Penumbral Lunar Eclipse Of 2020
STRAWBERRY FULL MOON – A spectacle of celestial events is about to unfold in June 5 – a Penumbral Lunar Eclipse.
But, what’s so special about them?
This type of lunar eclipse takes place as the moon moves through the faint outer regions of the Earth’s shadow.
Who could see the eclipse?
If the weather is fine, those in Asia, Australia, Europe, Africa, and South-Eastern areas of South America would be able to witness the spectacle. However, this type of eclipse is often subtle and hard to distinguish from a regular full moon depending on where you are.
Luckily, according to an article from The Mind Unleashed, the strawberry eclipse would be visible from start to finish in some areas. Moreover, it was reported to last a total of 3 hours and 18 minutes.
Sadly, some areas would only experience its shine during the moon rise or set. Also, those in North America and South America wouldn’t be able to witness the event as it would be below their horizon.
As per the article, the name “Strawberry Moon” originated with the Algonquin tribes of eastern North America. The moon was said to be a signal that the strawberries the natives planted were ripe and ready for harvest.
