Rare 'Blue Moon' to light up skies on May 31: How and when to watch the celestial event in the UAE and worldwide

A US spiritual expert explains the symbolism of this weekend’s rare blue moon

A blue moon — the second full moon in a single calendar month — will rise on May 31 as a micromoon, appearing slightly smaller than usual due to its greater distance from Earth. Spiritual communities interpret the event as symbolically tied to reflection and personal change, though it carries no astronomical significance beyond its calendrical rarity.
