The only blue moon of 2026 is rising on May 31st! 🌕
Although this is called a “Blue Moon”, it won't actually be blue. This celestial event occurs when a second full moon rises in a single calendar month. The lunar cycle runs about 29.5 days, so when we’re lucky a second full moon fits into the same month, and this one will be visible to the whole world. Be on the look out so you don’t miss it!
