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