Strawberry Moon Lights Up the Night Sky

BBC Weather Watcher Hang Ross captured a dramatic image of the Strawberry Moon from Swanage, Dorset.

With clear skies, the glowing Strawberry Moon was a remarkable sight above Hampshire and Dorset.

This full Moon marks the first of the summer season. Its name derives from the time of year it appears rather than its color.

The Moon appeared full in the night sky on Monday and is expected to rise again tonight.

Many people stayed up late to capture the perfect photograph of the full Moon, which was the lowest-hanging in the sky. Below are some of their images.
