New York City was illuminated on Monday (29 June) night as a Strawberry Moon rose over the iconic skyline.
Footage shows the orange-hued moon moving past the Empire State Building as it illuminates the Manhattan night sky.
The June full moon, the first full moon of the summer, takes its name from the strawberry harvest season in North America.
It will be the lowest-hanging moon until 2043, which will also make it appear to be larger than usual.
This is due to a phenomenon called the moon illusion, which makes the moon seem bigger when it is close to the horizon due to its relative size compared to objects in the distance.
