Along with canine sentinel Sandy watching the garden gate, the wide-angle snapshot also captured the bright Moon&#8217;s 22 degree ice halo. But June&#8217;s bright Full Moon will cast shadows too. This month, the Moon&#8217;s exact full phase occurs at 01:08 UTC June 22. That&#8217;s a mere 28 hours or so after today&#8217;s June solstice (at 20:51 UTC June 20), the moment when the Sun reaches its maximum northern declination. Known to some as a Strawberry Moon, June&#8217;s Full Moon is at its southernmost declination, and of course will create its own 22 degree halos in hazy night skies. via NASA <a href=\"https:\/\/apod.nasa.gov\/apod\/ap240620.html\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last April&#8217;s Full Moon shines through high clouds near the horizon, casting shadows in this garden-at-night skyscape.
