Stargazers will get a special treat as this year's Flower Moon will be accompanied by a lunar eclipse.
The flower moon is one of the names given to May's full moon due to the abundance of flowers associated with spring in the Northern Hemisphere, according to the Old Farmers' Almanac. It has also been called the Planting Moon, the Milk Moon, and the Hare Moon, according to timeanddate.
Last May, millions of people across the Americas, Europe, and Africa were able to see the rare "super flower blood moon," which was a combination of a total lunar eclipse and a full moon at its closest point to Earth, known as a "super moon."
