Today, people around the world get to see a pretty cool astronomical phenomenon. It isn't just a common full Moon tonight, people are actually looking at a "strawberry Moon".
And frankly, it might be the coolest thing we've seen in a long time.
The strawberry moon gets its name because it has an adorable pinkish hue in most cases.

Of course it's also called a honey moon or mead moon, because it also appears in shades of red or amber.

The colour is thanks to uncontrolled atmospheric effects and the moon's proximity to the earth's horizon when it rises.

It's different from the blood moon though, which we saw in January this year.

It's unsure whether this is a phenomenon you'll be able to see from here in India, given our smog levels and cloud cover from the monsoons. It's worth a shot however.
On my way to the office this fresh morning, had the full strawberry Moon setting in front & the Sun rising behind me ... so awesome to see these celestial bodies in their glowing and beautiful element#BeautyAllAroundYou#OpenYourEyes#Nature#Sunrise#Moonset#StrawberryMoon pic.twitter.com/byJvMeAn2S
