Rare Blue Moon This Weekend

Get ready for a cosmic rarity this weekend — a blue moon, the second full moon in one month, paired with a micromoon that’ll look smaller and dimmer because it’s farther from Earth. Peak glow hits Sunday morning at 1:45 AM ET. Though “blue moon” sounds dramatic, it doesn’t actually turn blue — just a quirky term born in 1946. This is the only blue moon in 2026, with the next not until December 2028. Tennessee’s Memphis offers the best view; Nashville and Knoxville may be socked in. And yes — “once in a blue moon” really means it. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
