On the evening of 31st May 2026, the full Moon will rise, marking the second full Moon of the month and making it a 'Blue Moon'.
This is also a 'micromoon' because the Moon reaches will become full just before it reaches the farthest distance from Earth in its orbit.
If you're clouded out or are otherwise unable to see this 'Blue Micromoon', the Virtual Telescope Project has announced it will film and broadcast views of the full Moon live from Manciano, Italy.
