The celestial dance of the Moon is a sight to behold, with each Full Moon offering a unique experience. As we observe the Moon over time, we can see its path shifting from north to south, creating a fascinating phenomenon known as the precession of the Moon.

In December, we witnessed the ‘Long Night’s Full Moon,’ where the Full Moon reached its highest point in the sky in two decades. Now, it’s the Southern Hemisphere’s turn to witness the Moon heading steeply southward, culminating in a Full Moon on June 11th.

The Moon’s orbit is tilted at 5.15 degrees in relation to the ecliptic, the plane of Earth’s path around the Sun. This tilt allows the Moon to range from 28.65 degrees declination south to north in the sky, creating a unique celestial spectacle.

Interestingly, the Moon’s orbit also affects the occurrence of eclipses, with the tilt preventing eclipses from happening every lunation. Instead, eclipses occur during biannual eclipse seasons, adding to the mystery and wonder of the Moon’s movements.

The cycle of the Moon’s precession spans almost 20 years, with Major Lunar Standstills occurring every 18.6 years. In between these major events, Minor Lunar Standstills take place, creating a dynamic and ever-changing celestial display.

Ancient civilizations recognized the significance of the Moon’s movements, using them to mark time and align structures such as the Callanish Stones in Scotland. The upcoming Full Moon in June 2025, also known as the Strawberry Moon, will offer a unique viewing experience depending on your location.

From mid-northern latitudes, the Full Moon will appear low in the sky, while those north of the 60th parallel may not see it at all. In contrast, southerners will witness their own version of the ‘Long Night’s Moon,’ shining brightly in the June sky.

As the Moon continues its journey, it will also occult stars such as Spica and Antares, creating rare and magical celestial events for observers in Tasmania, New Zealand, and Australia.

Whether you’re a casual observer or a dedicated stargazer, don’t miss the opportunity to witness the rising Full Moon on June 10th and 11th. Take note of its position in the sky and marvel at the intricate dance of the Moon as it lights our path to the stars.
