If you looked up at the sky last night, then you would have seen the stunning Strawberry Moon - the sixth full moon of the year.

The moon reached its fullest on 11 June and into this morning, with some striking photos being taken of the moon's pinkish, amber hue.

However, the name "Strawberry Moon" doesn't come from its colour but rather because it is the strawberry harvesting season - a term used by Native American Algonquian tribes.

This year's Strawberry Moon will be the lowest full moon since 2006, and it only comes around every 18.6 years, causing the rising and setting of the moon to happen at the most extreme northern and southernmost points.

The next time the moon will be this low in 2043, so we have a wait on our hands...

Here is a round-up of the most spectacular snaps of the Strawberry Moon taken all over the world from last night
