This is the second full Moon in the month of May, the first being on the 2nd May and now this full Moon on the 31st May 2026. Two full Moons in a calendar month now is commonly known as a ‘Blue Moon’ or once in a blue Moon because it doesn’t happen that often, perhaps only once every two to three years.
This Moon is also an Apogee Moon or micro moon because it’s further away from us in its orbit about the Earth.
I’ve also made a mineral Moon by adding some saturation so it shows the different colours of the minerals on the surface of the Moon.
