THE Moon Full of May will be brilliant in the sky on Sunday night (11) and Monday (12) – Despite being a Microlua.
The full moon technically will reach its peak on Monday afternoon, but will appear full on Sunday nights and Monday, according to EarthSky. The satellite should appear above the horizon east right after sunset and rise to its highest point in the sky after midnight.
May’s full moon is the third and final in a succession of this year’s microlyuns, which occurs when Earth’s natural satellite is in its longest distance from the planet and appears shorter than a typical full moon. The moon will be 405,456 kilometers from Earth, compared to its average distance of 384,400 kilometers, according to NASA.
Flower moon
The nickname of the flower moon comes from a name given by the natives to the US natives, associated with the May full moon, which occurs during spring in the northern hemisphere. However, other indigenous tribes vary as they refer to the satellite this time of year.
The people Creek and Chocwa, also from the US, call her the Moon of Amora, while Creeing them call her the frog’s moon. The Anishnaabe tribe knows her as a moon of flowering, and the apache refer to this moon being born during the “season when the leaves are green.”
