Full Strawberry Moon will be lower in the sky than any full moon since 2006 .

This year's full moon will coincide with a rare celestial phenomenon called the 'major lunar standstill' The moon will appear unusually low on the southern horizon, especially in northern parts of the UK .

It will be visible as long as you're in the Northern Hemisphere but the further north you are, the closer to the horizon the moon will seem.

The clearest cloud-free skies tonight will be in the north of Britain .

During the 29.5-day lunar cycle, we observe a new moon, waxing moon, full moon ( 100 per cent illumination) and waning moon (when its visible surface area is getting smaller) Sometimes we get more than one full moon in a month, this is commonly known as a blue moon.

Supermoons are when the full moon nearly coincides with perigee the point in the orbit of the moon at which it is nearest to Earth .

This means a supermoon can appear as much as 14 per cent larger and 30 per cent brighter than when it's furthest away from Earth .
