Summary
June kicks off astronomical summer with the solstice on the 21st, delivering a dazzling 17 hours and 36 minutes of daylight in places like Edinburgh — and the Sun at its highest point in the sky for the Northern Hemisphere. If you’re out at the right moment, your shadow will be at its shortest. Later, the Moon dazzles with a record-breaking supermoon on the 15th — the closest full moon of the year — before ending the month with a rare micromoon Strawberry Moon, when the Moon is at its farthest from Earth. Meanwhile, Mercury makes a striking appearance after sunset, and astronomers are watching for a potential flare from T Coronae Borealis — though June might not be the ideal window. With a mix of record-breaking and rare celestial events, June’s skies are packed with wonder. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
