First 'major lunar standstill' in nearly 20 years is set for this weekend - here's how YOU can see the celestial event

---

This year marks the first 'major lunar standstill' since 2006, when the moon's path travels higher in the sky - appearing to standstill to people on the ground. Also known as the 'lunistice,' the event occurs when the tilts of both the Earth and moon are at their maximum and will overlap with the summer solstice on Friday night, June 21 in the northern hemisphere. On that day, the moon will set rise and set at its most northeasterly and northwesterly points, making it appear in the night sky longer.
