This week's full Moon will be the lowest in the sky until 2043, making it look much bigger to people in the Northern Hemisphere. Known as the Strawberry Moon, it's at the lowest point of an 18.6-year cycle, appearing largest when close to the horizon. The best time to see it in the UK will be Tuesday evening, according to the Met Office.
