Explanation: Near the horizon the full moon often seems to loom large, swollen in appearance by the famous Moon illusion. But time-lapse image sequences demonstrate that the Moon’s angular size doesn’t really change as it rises or sets. Its color does, though. Recording a frame about every 60 seconds, this image also shows how red the Sun can look while low on the horizon. The featured montage was taken from Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy, the day after June’s Strawberry Moon, a full moon dubbed a supermoon due to its slightly larger-than-usual angular size. This Strawberry Supermoon is seen rising behind the Devil’s Saddle, a mountain named for the unusual moon-sized dip seen just to the right of the rising moon. A shrinking line-of-sight through planet Earth’s dense and dusty atmosphere shifted the moonlight from strawberry red through honey-colored and paler yellowish hues. That change seems appropriate for a northern June Full Moon also known as the Strawberry or Honey Moon. A Thunder Supermoon — the third of four supermoons in 2022 — will occur later this month.

说明: 在地平线附近的满月，通常因为著名的月亮错觉而显得庞大无比。然而缩时序列影像明确指出，月球的张角不管在东升或在西落皆无变化。不过，它的颜色的确会有不同。如同这张建构自太约每隔60秒拍摄的照片之影像所示，当太阳在地平线附近时看起来会很红。这幅摄于意大利萨丁尼亚岛卡尼亚里市的主题剪辑影像，拍摄的时间是在6月的莓月东升之后一天，这轮满月也因为张角稍大于寻常满月，而有超级月亮之称。影像中，这轮超级莓月从恶魔的马鞍后面升起，这座山峰则因在东升明月右侧的不寻常月亮大小凹陷而得名。随着穿过地球稠密和尘土飞扬大气的视线逐渐缩短，月光也从草莓红转为蜂蜜色和淡黄色泽。这种变化和北半球6月的满月很合拍，因为它有莓月或蜜月之称。在本月中旬附近将出现的满月亦称为雷月，而它也是2022年4个超级月亮中的第三个。
