六月的满月与日落相对升起，发生在冬至的28小时内。月亮沿着黄道平面靠近太阳的路径，所以当太阳在白天爬得很高的时候，从北纬地区看，六月的满月在那天晚上仍然很低。事实上，在6月21日土耳其布尔萨的屋顶夜空中，满月拥抱地平线，从月出到月落每10分钟曝光一次。在2024年，月球也进入了一个主要的月球停滞期，这是月球轨道在18.6年的周期内岁差造成的月出月落的一个极端。因此，今年6月至日的满月是在最南端的月出和月落沿地平线。

Rising opposite the setting Sun, June's Full Moon occurred within about 28 hours of the solstice. The Moon stays close to the Sun's path along the ecliptic plane and so while the solstice Sun climbed high in daytime skies, June's Full Moon remained low that night as seen from northern latitudes. In fact, the Full Moon hugs the horizon in this June 21 rooftop night sky view from Bursa, Turkey, constructed from exposures made every 10 minutes between moonrise and moonset. In 2024 the Moon also reached a major lunar standstill, an extreme in the monthly north-south range of moonrise and moonset caused by the precession of the Moon's orbit over an 18.6 year cycle. As a result, this June solstice Full Moon was at its southernmost moonrise and moonset along the horizon.
