This extremely rare event marks the major stoppage of the moon which rises at its most northeastern points and sets at its most northwestern points. . In this way, we can observe it much longer than usual and above all see it come disturbingly closer to the horizon. A mechanism which gave rise this Friday, June 21 to extraordinary images across the globe since in addition to this special journey, the moon was full. If you missed this celestial spectacle, you can watch it rise above Stonehenge in England right here. For our part, we have collected for you the most beautiful photos taken that night in the world.
