Look up.
Because on May 30–31, 2026, the night sky will transform into one of the rarest celestial spectacles of the decade.

A rare Blue Micromoon will rise over Earth while five visible planets stretch across the heavens in a breathtaking cosmic alignment.

Just after sunset, Venus, Jupiter, and Mercury will glow low in the western sky.
Hours later, before dawn, Mars and Saturn will rise together in the east.

One Moon- THE BLUE MOON.
Five planets.
One extraordinary sky.

But this full moon carries an even deeper rarity.

Not only is it a Blue Moon, the second full moon in a single calendar month, it will also be the smallest full moon of the entire year.

At nearly 252,000 miles away, the Moon will reach apogee, its farthest point from Earth, making it appear slightly smaller and dimmer than usual.

A Blue Moon.
A Micromoon.
A planet parade.
All happening at the same time.

As if the universe wanted one final masterpiece, the Moon will drift beside Antares the fiery red supergiant known as the Heart of the Scorpion in Scorpius.

The contrast between the silver lunar glow and the crimson star will be visible to the naked eye from dark skies around the world.

For the best view, step outside 30–45 minutes after sunset and look west.
Then wake before dawn and turn east to watch Mars and Saturn rise beneath the fading stars.

And despite its name, the Moon won’t actually appear blue.
The term “Blue Moon” comes from a rare calendar alignment — not its color.

The next time a Blue Micromoon and multi-planet alignment happen together won’t be until late 2028.

Some nights are beautiful.
This one will feel historic.

You can use this weekend to get inspiration from our ‘simple fun’ June calendar and start finding space in your schedule for the ideas.

The idea of the calendar is to have fun with easy activities, things you have at home, and by exploring your local area. Go on vacations and fun adventures this summer, sure, but don’t overlook how much fun an afternoon in the backyard, or a get-together at a park, can be.

🌕✨ Don’t Sleep Tonight!

Tonight’s sky is putting on a rare celestial show. A Blue Moon will rise in the eastern sky shortly after sunset, while several bright planets will be visible across the evening and early morning hours.

🔹 Look west after sunset to spot Venus and Jupiter.
🔹 Look east before sunrise to find Mars and Saturn.

A Blue Moon is the second full moon in a single calendar month — a rare event that only happens every few years. Despite its name, the Moon won’t actually appear blue, but it will still be a spectacular sight.

Grab your camera, find a dark location, and enjoy one of the most memorable skywatching nights of 2026! 🌌📸

🌑 Mark Your Calendars: A Once-in-a-Century Phenomenon! 🌑

On August 2, 2027, a rare cosmic alignment will produce the longest total solar eclipse visible on land this century. For more than six minutes, the Moon will completely block the Sun, revealing the glowing solar corona in a way most people will never witness in their lifetime.

This perfect cosmic alignment—creating an extended period of daytime darkness—is a true once-in-a-lifetime experience. An event of this magnitude won't grace our skies again for another 100 years!

Whether you're an avid astronomer or just love witnessing the magic of the universe, this is a moment you cannot afford to miss. Grab your viewing glasses and get ready to look up. ✨

Three Full Moons.
Three completely different moods.

A rare Blue Moon to close out May…
the warm glow of the Strawberry Moon in June…
and the golden Buck Moon rising deep into summer in July.

-- Mark these nights:
• May 31 : Blue Moon
• June 29 : Strawberry Moon 🍓
• July 29 : Buck Moon 🦌

Each Moon carries a story tied to the changing seasons from blooming fields to growing antlers and the rare rhythm of an extra full moon lighting the sky.

Most people will forget these dates.
The ones who look up won’t.
