May's full moon, also known as the Flower Moon, will be visible on Sunday and Monday evenings despite being a micromoon—when the moon is farthest from Earth. The moon will be 251,939 miles away from Earth. Different indigenous tribes have varying names for this moon, including the Mulberry Moon, Frog Moon, and Blossom Moon. After this final micromoon of the year, seven more full moons will follow in 2025, with supermoons in October, November, and December. A total lunar eclipse (potentially a 'blood moon') will be visible from various parts of the world on September 7 and 8. A partial solar eclipse will occur on September 21, visible from more remote areas.
