A rare “Blue Flower” moon 18 May 2019 was a “seasonal” not “calendar” blue moon 🌚. Seasonal blue moons only happen when there are 4 full moons within one season (3-month period). Instead of the 2nd full moon within one month (a 13th or blue moon which happens once a year), a seasonal blue moon lends its name to the name of the moon makes no it a “Blue [monthly name]” moon. If this had happened in winter, it would’ve been the “Blue Snow” moon in February or in autumn it would have been called the “Blue Beaver” moon. #seasonalbluemoon #blueflowermoon #naturephotography #sky https://www.instagram.com/p/ByYPOIBj5sT/?igshid=1szrjltzjcye9

Zuben-El-Akrab is the star in Libra that was capturing my cameras attention by the moon tonight.... Blue Full Flower Moon Rising tonight. Ormond Beach, Florida. May 18, 2019. #SkyWatcher #BlueMoon #BlueFlowerMoon #FullFlowerMoon #FullMoon #fullmoonrising #moonrise #moon #moongazing #moonlight #moonlightonwater #moonlife #moonlove #reflection #moonsofinstagram #bigFloridaSky #skylife #star #MelanieCranfordPhotography #moonphases #moonphotography #MayMoon The reason it's a "Blue Moon" is that it's the 3rd full moon in a 4 full moon season. Usually there's only 3 full moons in a season, however this year there's 4 full moons in Spring. By rule, the 3rd such moon must be called a "blue moon" so that the 4th can be called the "late moon", thus June's Strawberry Moon will be the "Late Strawberry Moon" this year. #nerdmom https://www.instagram.com/p/BxoWVpuAmGy/?igshid=77irx4ur2imc
