Rare Blue Moon Phenomenon Appears May 31, 2026, Note the Time in Indonesia

The Blue Moon phenomenon is scheduled to happen on May 30–31, 2026. A Blue Moon is when there are two full moons in the same calendar month. The term refers to a calendar thing, not the moon actually changing color. This phenomenon is pretty rare, usually happening every two to three years. The Blue Moon in May 2026 coincides with a micromoon, when the moon is at its farthest point from Earth, so it looks about 7 percent smaller. The peak of the Blue Moon is expected at 15:45 WIB, but people can catch the full moon the night before into the early morning hours. After May 2026, a similar phenomenon is expected on December 31, 2028. https://www.gelora.co/2026/05/fenomena-langka-blue-moon-muncul-31-mei.html

I've already marked the calendar! Hope the night turns out clear, I wanna take the kids out to see the moon while telling them stories about Allah's creations. Makes me nostalgic about when I was little, we used to look at the full moon a lot.

Subhanallah, so that night could we actually pray the eclipse sunnah prayer or not? Or maybe it wasn't even an eclipse, just a regular full moon. Still beautiful though, to reflect on His greatness.
