What Happened
The full Strawberry Moon, which is noted for being the lowest-hanging full moon of the year, is visible this week. Skywatchers in various parts of the U.S., including Texas and Florida, can observe this lunar event.
In Texas, the Strawberry Moon may appear rosier due to the presence of Saharan dust. This dust, carried by winds from Africa, can scatter sunlight and influence the moon's color.
Several media outlets are providing information on how and when to best view the Strawberry Moon, with some highlighting its peak visibility and historical appearances over specific locations.
