At 8:45 UTC on May 31, 2026, the next full moon will reach its highest point. Making the moon appear somewhat smaller and dimmer than a typical full moon, the moon will be about 252,360 miles away from Earth at that moment. The Moon seems around 6% smaller and 10% fainter than typical, which astronomers claim is a slight distinction.

Where the Moon is predicted to travel in front of Antares, the luminous red star in the constellation Scorpius, the display may be much more spectacular in the Pacific and sections of the Southern Hemisphere, according to the reports.

Why the Rarest Event?

Because the lunar cycle lasts about 29.5 days and does not fit perfectly with the calendar months, Blue Moons normally happen once every two or three years.
