Os internautas apressaram-se a batizar o fenómeno de Lua de Morango. Há quarenta e nove anos que o solstício de verão não coincidia com uma noite de Lua Cheia, pintando o astro vizinho de um vermelho quase alaranjado e ofuscando até as estrelas mais brilhantes do céu. Os monumentos de observação encheram-se de gente com máquinas fotográficas em punho. E as fotografias começaram a invadir as redes sociais, que ficaram rendidas a um fenómeno que só voltaremos a ver em 2062.
Estas são algumas das melhores imagens e mensagens que correm na Internet desde a última noite. Renda-se também à Lua de Morango com os 25 tweets mais espantosos deste fenómeno natural raro.
