Towards the end of the month the sky gives us a new exciting show, after the fascinating shooting stars and Aquarids: the May Supermoon or Moon of the flowers, which we can admire on May 26. Let’s see then what this Supermoon is and how we can see it since it will also arrive accompanied by an eclipse although it seems that from our country we will not be able to witness it.Supermoon of May: What is the Moon of the flowers? In April the pink Supermoon could be seen, the one of May is considered the largest and brightest of the year. But for the night of the 26th another unmissable show is also planned: the total lunar eclipse, which will give the terrestrial satellite a reddish color. The phenomenon, however, will be visible in some parts of the world and not in Spain. Fortunately, it is possible to admire the lunar eclipse in streaming through links such as the YouTube channel of websites such as TimeAndDate. The lucky ones, who will be able to admire this natural spectacle live, will be citizens who live in the areas of Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii, the islands of the South Pacific and southwest Alaska. Initially, the darkening will be partial, when the moon enters the twilight zone, at 11:45 a.m., while the total eclipse will begin at 1:11 p.m. It will end at 13:26. In fact, the more aligned the moon is with the center of the Earth’s shadow cone, the longer the eclipse will last. In this case the alignment is not perfect and the center is not crossed, so the total eclipse will not last long.The different names of the May Supermoon If the lunar eclipse will be visible only from the other side of the world, in our skies we will be able to enjoy the splendid Supermoon of flowers, a name that the Native Americans gave to the full moon in May due to the abundance of flowers this month.

As soon as the sun sets and you see the moon appear, you will see its splendor and beauty since to see this Supermoon you will not need a telescope and much less binoculars.The exact time that the full moon will rise on May 26 will be at 21:55 hours.
