Rare blue MICROMOON will peak this weekend and won't return until 2053

A blue micromoon will reach peak illumination on May 31, 2026 — the second full moon of the month coinciding with the Moon at apogee (furthest point from Earth) — a combination that won't recur until 2053. Visible to the naked eye from the UK on Saturday evening with optimal southern horizon sightlines, the event is also photographable via smartphone on tripod or smart telescopes (Seestar S30/S50, Dwarf 3) with minimal setup.

How to Best See This Weekend’s Rare Blue Micromoon

A rare blue micromoon — May's second full moon coinciding with lunar apogee — peaks at 4:45 a.m. EDT on May 31, appearing 6% smaller and 10% dimmer than average; the next occurrence is not expected for over 25 years. Best observed with clear, unobstructed skies away from light pollution: Northern Hemisphere viewers will find it near Antares in Scorpius, while observers south of the equator may witness a brief lunar occultation of the star.
