June's full 'Strawberry Moon' lit up the night sky last night, treating skywatchers to a rare once-in-a-18-year display as it rode low across the southern horizon.

Cameras trained on the night sky have captured a rare sight across the East Midlands. Wednesday night and Thursday morning saw the darkness lit up by a Strawberry Moon. The event hit its peak overnight but the pinkish hues of it sitting low to the horizon are nothing to do with the name.

Keep an eye out for June’s full strawberry moon, which will appear low in the Northern Hemisphere, as well as the Milky Way and multiple planets.
