Here's how to see the Strawberry Moon this weekend
The Strawberry Moon is the title given to the June full moon, and is named after the fact that strawberry harvests usually take place during this time. The moon will be visible on Sunday, June 4 and will reach peak illumination at 4.41am.
According to the researchers, Luskentyre Beach on the west coast of South Harris in the Outer Hebrides is the "standout" destination in the UK to see the rare moon this weekend. With a Bortle rating of one, the beach has very high nighttime visibility due to low levels of light pollution.View gallery Luskentyre Beach is therefore regarded as a top stargazing spot, with even the Northern Lights often being viewable.
In general, the higher up you are, the more likely you are to have a clear view of the night sky — and will also be able to see low down to the horizon to watch the moon rise. If you can, you should explore your local surroundings ahead of the weekend to find the best local stargazing spot.
