Look to the east tonight at sunset to see a rare Blue Moon lighting up the night sky! 

It'll make for a beautiful view all night long. (Technically, the Moon is full at 2:45a.m. local time on May 31st.)

Despite the name, the moon won’t actually appear blue...A “Blue Moon” is the second full moon in a calendar month. It only happens once every two to three years making it a special celestial event worth catching! Whether you’re stargazing, taking photos, or just enjoying a quiet evening outside, this is the perfect excuse to pause and appreciate the beauty above us.
