[00:00:00]Wait.

[00:00:01]Did you know that May 2026 is about to break the rules of the sky?

[00:00:06]On May 1st, we get the beautiful flower moon, marking the peak of spring vibes.

[00:00:12]But, that's just the beginning. On May 31st, we get a second full moon in the same month.

[00:00:18]In astronomy, we call this a blue moon.

[00:00:21]It's not actually blue, but it is rare.

[00:00:25]But, here is the cool part. This blue moon is also a micro moon. It's happening while the moon is at its farthest point from Earth, making it look slightly smaller and dimmer than usual.

[00:00:38]Usually, we only get 12 full moons a year, but 2026 is giving us a bonus 13th show.

[00:00:45]This rare combination only happens once every two to three years.

[00:00:49]Nature is giving us a little something extra this month. Don't forget to look up on May 31st.
