Blue Moon (live version; the Marcels) (saturday into sunday) (a micromoon)

scroll down for video



The blue moon will reach peak fullness at 4:45 a.m. ET on May 31, astronomer Catherine Pilachowski tells TODAY.com.

That means any time late on May 30 and in the early hours of May 31 should provide a great view.

The blue moon will also be what is known as a “micromoon,” which is the opposite of a super moon. It will occur when the moon is farthest from the Earth, so that it will appear about 6% to 7% smaller than the average full moon and 12% to 14% smaller than a super moon, per Pilachowski.

The moon will be 252,360 miles from Earth during the blue moon on May 31, compared to its average distance of 238,855 miles, according to Pilachowski.
