Because of its position in the lunar orbit, Tuesday night's full moon was at its lowest point on the horizon. This is known as a "lunar standstill" and only happens every couple of decades; this particular Strawberry Moon was extra special! The moon was at its peak between midnight and 1 a.m.

The Strawberry Moon will rise in the eastern sky at around dusk on Wednesday, between around 8:30 p.m. ET and shortly after sunset in other regions — for example, the best time to view it in San Francisco will be 8 p.m., though you’re advised to check your own city’s moonrise time for precise information.

A low-hanging full moon tinged red by Canadian wildfire smoke is set to dazzle skies over Northeast Ohio and beyond Tuesday night into Wednesday.
