ЁЯМХ The Flower Moon is here тАФ and May 2026 is bringing a rare celestial treat!
MayтАЩs Flower Moon ЁЯМХ
A rare micromoon + upcoming Blue Moon
Look up at sunset!
This yearтАЩs May full moon isnтАЩt just a beautiful springtime sight. ItтАЩs also a micromoon, meaning it appears slightly smaller and dimmer because itтАЩs at its farthest point from Earth. But donтАЩt worry тАФ thanks to the magical Moon illusion, it can still look huge and breathtaking as it rises!
Even more exciting? ЁЯМЯ There will be TWO full moons this May, with a rare Blue Moon lighting up the sky on May 31. This only happens about every 2.5 years!
Look toward the southeast just after sunset, and you might even notice the moon glowing orange or red due to EarthтАЩs atmosphere. Keep an eye out for bright stars like Arcturus and Spica nearby.
Whether youтАЩre a casual skywatcher or a photography lover, this is the perfect moment to step outside and reconnect with the night sky.
тЬи DonтАЩt miss it тАФ nature and astronomy are putting on a show!
