On Wednesday, June 11, skywatchers worldwide, including those in Saudi Arabia, will be able to observe the "Great Lunar Standstill," a unique celestial phenomena that only happens around once every 18.6 years. When the moon's orbital tilt reaches its greatest north-south deviation, the moon rises and sets at the furthest horizon locations, resulting in this phenomena.
According to the Astronomy and Space Club, this event will occur this year at the same time that the "Strawberry Moon" rises from the southernmost southern point, creating a spectacular astronomical display that is visible to the unaided eye in clear skies.
Since this phenomena is an uncommon occurrence in astronomy and won't happen again until 2043, astronomy aficionados, photographers, and skywatchers have a rare chance to capture this special moment.
