If you've been taking a peek up at the sky this week, you might have spotted the Moon looking very full and bright.

That's because this week saw the Strawberry Moon, which is the name given to the full moon in June.

It's less to do with the actual colour and more to do with the time of year, as traditionally June is when strawberries would be harvested.

And there are some pretty epic photos - take a look.
