Astronomers note that a Great Lunar Standstill happens roughly every 18.6 years, when the Moon’s orbital tilt reaches its extreme, causing the Moon to rise and set at its most northerly and southerly points on the horizon.

This results in the Moon appearing at its furthest north and south positions on the horizon during moonrise and moonset — a motion that can be seen with the naked eye in many regions, provided the skies are clear.
This year, the phenomenon aligns with June’s full moon, traditionally known as the Strawberry Moon — a term originating from Native American tribes to signify the time of year when wild strawberries begin to ripen.
