A Blue Moon, defined as the second full moon within a single calendar month, graces the skies approximately every two and a half years. This occurrence is even more extraordinary on Sunday, 31 May 2026, as it coincides with a Micro Moon—when the moon is at its farthest point from Earth, appearing smaller and dimmer than usual. This rare celestial event offers an exceptional opportunity for moon gazing, photography, or a peaceful evening stroll under clear night skies.
