]]> The upcoming Flower Moon on May 1, 2026, will also be classified as a micromoon, making it a unique celestial event this spring. The Flower Moon rises in May and will be visible just after sunset in the southeast sky. This full moon is named for the blooming flowers that characterize the month of May.

The Moon will be in the waxing stage leading up to its full phase. On April 29, Spica, one of the brightest stars in spring, will appear to the left of the Moon. Stargazers can enjoy this conjunction as they prepare for the main event.

Key facts about the Flower Moon:

  • The Flower Moon will set in the southwest during the early hours around dawn.
  • A micromoon occurs when the Moon is at its farthest point from Earth during a full or new moon.
  • In 2026, the full Flower Moon is considered a micromoon by some sources.

This year’s Flower Moon is particularly special because it coincides with its apogee—when it is approximately 252,360 miles away from Earth. For context, the average distance of the Moon from Earth is about 238,900 miles.

The full Strawberry Moon on June 29, 2026, will also be classified as a micromoon. This pattern may provide additional opportunities for stargazing enthusiasts later in the season.
