๐ The Flower Moon is here โ and May 2026 is bringing a rare celestial treat!
Mayโs Flower Moon ๐
A rare micromoon + upcoming Blue Moon
Look up at sunset!
This yearโs May full moon isnโt just a beautiful springtime sight. Itโs also a micromoon, meaning it appears slightly smaller and dimmer because itโs at its farthest point from Earth. But donโt worry โ thanks to the magical Moon illusion, it can still look huge and breathtaking as it rises!
Even more exciting? ๐ 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 Earthโs atmosphere. Keep an eye out for bright stars like Arcturus and Spica nearby.
Whether youโre a casual skywatcher or a photography lover, this is the perfect moment to step outside and reconnect with the night sky.
โจ Donโt miss it โ nature and astronomy are putting on a show!
