Blue Moon and Micromoon to Grace Florida Skies on May 31
A rare astronomical event will occur on May 31, 2026, when a blue moon, which is the second full moon in a calendar month, will appear in the sky. This blue moon will also be a micromoon, meaning it will appear smaller and dimmer than usual due to its distance from Earth. The moon will be 252,360 miles away, compared to the average distance of 238,900 miles. This event is part of a series of celestial occurrences in 2026, including a partial lunar eclipse and a total solar eclipse later in the year.
