Full Moon's path nearest the Summer Solstice

As simulated by Starry Night Education. Note that the Full Moon nearest the Summer Solstice reaches the lowest zenith of any Full Moon during the year, while the Full Moon nearest the Winter Solstice reaches the highest zenith of any Full Moon. This is due to the Earth's axial tilt; maximally away from the Sun (but towards the Full Moon) in Winter but maximally towards the Sun (and away from the Full Moon) in Summer.
