Blue Micromoon & Antares Tonight
Description
This Sunday, catch a rare cosmic double feature: a blue moon and a micromoon colliding in the sky. No, the moon won’t turn blue — that’s just astronomy jargon for the second full moon in one month, which happens every 2-3 years. This one’s also a micromoon, meaning it’s at its farthest point from Earth, about 252,360 miles away, making it slightly smaller and dimmer — though most won’t notice. Peak illumination hits at 4:46 AM Eastern on May 31, 2026. And for extra stargazing magic, the fiery red star Antares — the heart of the scorpion — will shine right beside it all night. Grab your binoculars and get outside — this combo won’t be back for a while.
