As we enter into May, we will once again have a Supermoon to look forward to. The Blood Supermoon (also known as the “Flower Moon”) will appear later this month. It’s predicted to be the biggest and brightest supermoon of the year, with a full lunar eclipse accompanying it. Here’s what you need to know about this supermoon’s origins, when you can expect to see it this month, and how you can view it from the comfort of your home.

The Flower Moon will be its biggest at 7:14 AM( EDT) Wednesday, May 26. However, the eclipse will occur earlier before that, at 4:46 AM EDT and the eclipses will be darkest (this is when you will see the moon at its darkest red shade) at 5:45 AM EDT. You can find out when the eclipse/Superblood moon will appear where you live with this eclipse lookup tool.

How to See It Live From Your Home

You might not be able to get stargazing later this month but you can still view the supermoon live from your home. The website Time and Date will have a livestream going on this Wednesday 26 for anyone who wants to view this Mays Blood Supermoon. Set yourself a reminder for this one because you don’t want to miss it!
