Rare Blue Moon & Micromoon in May

Get ready for a cosmic double feature: On May 31st, witness a rare blue moon — not blue at all, but the second full moon in one month — paired with a micromoon, making it appear smaller and dimmer as it’s farthest from Earth. This combo happens only every few years, with the next blue moon not until December 2028. The term “blue moon” itself is a historical fluke from a 1946 magazine error, and there’s even a seasonal definition too. Weather varies by region — Memphis’s clear skies might give you the best view — but the science behind it all is anything but dull. Don’t miss this once-in-a-blue-moon spectacle.
