Will Strawberry moon show up in India?
“While this will be on Thursday for a significant part of the Earth, from India Standard Time (IST) toward the east to Line Islands Time, and the International Dateline, this will be on Friday morning.
Around this time, the Moon will be full for around three days, beginning in the early Wednesday morning through early Saturday morning,” NASA said.
How is Strawberry Moon shaped?
NASA says, “The circle of the Moon around the Earth is practically in a similar plane as the circle of the Earth around the Sun.
At the point when the Sun seems most elevated in the sky close to the mid-year solstice, the full Moon inverse the Sun by and large shows up least in the sky.
Especially for Europe’s higher scopes, the full Moon closest to the late spring solstice radiates through more environment than at different seasons. This can give the full Moon a rosy or rose-tone, mostly because it is the shade of the rising Sun.”
