OPINION (Daily Star) – A Strawberry moon tonight promises to stun astronomy enthusiasts around the world – but doomsday preachers have sensationally claimed the red moon means the end of days. The Strawberry Moon is the sixth of this year’s 12 named Full Moon phases. The Strawberry Moon will make its appearance just one month after the so-called Flower Moon peaked in May. The full moon will be in the night sky on the evening of Monday 17 June. While the moon will technically be at its fullest at 9.30 am on that day, it
won’t be visible at all in the sky, having previously set at around 4.54am. It will rise again at around 9.30pm and won’t set again until about 5.39am the next morning, meaning it will be visible in all its glory throughout the night – clear skies permitting of course. But while astronomy fans will be patiently waiting to see the phenomenon, some doomsday preachers will be waiting for the world to end. Tim Henderson, who monitors events that could signal the end of mankind, believes the Rapture starts with the Strawberry Moon tomorrow. READ MORE
