'Strawberry Moon' and Jupiter

Tonight's full Moon is being referred to as a Strawberry Moon in the media: not because it is particularly red, but because it supposedly coincides with the opening of wild strawberry flowers on the prairie. Hmmm... If you do get clear skies, it's worth a look, though, because right next to it in the sky is Jupiter, the largest planet in the Solar System: a spectacular conjunction! These photos were taken last night: the Moon is just a tiny fraction off being full...
