Supermoon alert: Share your view tonight.
Often called the "flower moon," the May full moon is nearly upon us. Earth's nearest neighbor will reach the full stage early May 26, meaning it will appear full both Tuesday and Wednesday nights. The moon's closest monthly approach to Earth happens at the same time, making the flower moon a supermoon, as well.
For early risers, there's another astronomical treat in store: This year's only total lunar eclipse happens in the hours before sunrise May 26. When Earth's shadow begins to cover it, Luna often takes on a reddish tint, leading to the name "blood moon" for those rare times when a lunar eclipse aligns with a full moon.
So step outside, take a video or photo, and post it in the comments to share the view with your neighbors.
