This year's "lowest full moon" will appear in the sky on June 11. On that evening, viewers in the Northern Hemisphere will witness the full moon hanging closest to the horizon throughout the year.

Wang Kechao, a science communicator at the Purple Mountain Observatory of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, explained that the full moon will occur at 15:44 Beijing Time (UTC+8) on June 11. At 7:42 on June 12, the moon will reach the southernmost point in the celestial sphere. Because this timing is very close to the moment of the full moon, the full moon on June 11 will be the year's "lowest full moon."

In Chinese culture, the moon transcends its identity as a celestial body orbiting Earth—it exists as an elusive celestial realm embodying boundless imagination and poetic imagery. Worshiping, gazing upon, and composing verses to the moon are inseparable threads in the tapestry of Chinese civilization. China's cultural conception of the moon stands unique in the world.
