A rare blue moon and micromoon set to rise over Florida on May 31

A blue moon — the second full moon in a single calendar month — will appear in the sky on May 31, and this one also qualifies as a micromoon, meaning it occurs near the moon’s farthest point from Earth. Floridians hoping to catch the sight should be aware of local cloud cover conditions that could affect visibility.
