In May, the full moon is known as the Flower Moon. On Monday, May 12, the Flower Moon will be visible, although it might appear slightly smaller than usual, a phenomenon called a micromoon, when the moon is at its farthest point from Earth, about 251,000 miles away. The peak illumination of the Flower Moon is expected at 12:56 p.m. EDT. Most of the country will have clear skies Monday afternoon except for the Southeast, West, and Northwest regions when the moon is at its peak. The Flower Moon is one of the many names for May’s full moon, such as Corn Moon, Milk Moon, and Hare’s Moon. The following dates highlight the full moons for the remainder of 2025.
