See “Strawberry Moon” images around the world – | Iranian and world news

According to the Mehr Reporter, the full month of June brighten the night sky on Tuesday, June 6, with a stunning show, shining with shades of red and orange depending on the view site. This month, known as the “Strawberry Moon” for its coincidence with the strawberry season, was very rare this year because of its extremely low position in the sky.

Kazem Kokarm, spokesman for the Iranian Astronomical Association Committee, had earlier explained the reason for naming this month to strawberry, which is derived from the North American native culture, which has been given special names for the full months of the year. These names, like the strawberry moon in June, the pink moon in April and the snow in the winter, are selected based on the natural and cultural characteristics of those areas. So the illustration of the web for the Persian -speaking audience of these months has no kind of culture with the culture of the West Asian people, and it is not as if we are going to see these months in pink or blue.

He emphasized: “These nominees have nothing to do with the actual color or shape of the moon and are merely names related to the North American native culture.” Therefore, one cannot expect to get a color like strawberry or pink on Tuesday and Wednesday. The only thing that happens is that the full moon in the middle of the night in the southern part of the sky is a little closer to the horizon, which is not visible to the naked eye.

Cocarm noted that the full moon in the southernmost possible situation is in its circulation orbit around the Earth or has the lowest width of the current circle at the current level, it has a 1.5 -year cycle. That is, another 2.5 years of this month’s position will be repeated again in its orbite, but this is a specialized issue for astronomers, and in a public perspective it is not a phenomenon that will be particularly attractive to ordinary people.
