## Caption

We're getting TWO full moons in May! 🌕🌕 It's a rare event that happens only every few years. The first, the Flower Moon, happens on Friday, and the second, known as the Blue Moon, happens on May 31. ⁣
⁣
A Blue Moon happens when two full moons occur in the same calendar month, and despite the name, the moon will not actually look blue.⁣
⁣
The last time there were two full moons in the same month was in August of 2023, a calendrical coincidence that will not happen again until December 2028.⁣
⁣
The upcoming event is also different from a "seasonal Blue Moon," which occurs when there are four full moons in an astronomical season, the third of which earns the nickname. The most recent example of this took place on Aug. 19, 2024.
