Blue Moon 2026: An extremely rare micromoon rises tonight
livescience - A rare Blue Moon, the second full moon in May, will also be a "micromoon" near its farthest point from Earth.
AI Summary: A rare "blue micromoon" peaked in late May 2026: a second full moon in a calendar month that coincided with a slightly smaller apparent lunar size due to perigee/apogee timing. Skywatchers were urged to look up for this quirky celestial double‑feature — same moon, different calendar trickery, minimal lunar mood swings guaranteed.
