A hypothetical representation of a blue-colored moon. Blue-colored moons are extremely rare. They happen in a region that has experienced a major wildfire or a volcanic eruption. For example, people saw blue-colored moons after Krakatoa’s 1883 eruption and Mount St. Helens’ 1980 eruption. Will the August 19, 2024, full Blue supermoon look this color? No. It’ll be a Blue Moon in name only. Image via BlueHypercane761/ Wikimedia Commons (public domain).Next Blue Moon: August 19, 2024| EarthSky

This month’s full moon – called the Flower Moon – will crest at 11:56 a.m. CDT for us in the Americas on May 12. The moon will be below the horizon then for us … but that timing means the moon will look round and full to us on both May 11 and May 12. What else is special about this full moon? What’s the best way to watch a full moon, and what can you expect to see? Join EarthSky’s Deborah Byrd at 12:15 p.m. CDT (17:15 UTC) to boost your moon-watching mojo!| EarthSky
