Is there a more satisfying bite than the salty, smoky hit of a really, really good burger? The answer is obviously: of course not.

La deuxième pleine lune de mai 2026 est sur le point de se produire — et il ne s’agit pas seulement d’une rare lune bleue, mais aussi d’une microlune, ce qui la fera paraître légèrement plus petite dans le ciel. Atteignant son apogée tôt le 31 mai 2026, elle sera visible partout dans le monde par ciel dégagé, et pourra être observée quelques jours avant et après son pic. Malgré son nom, cette lune bleue ne prendra pas de teinte bleutée. Elle apparaîtra plutôt avec une lueur dorée orangée près de l’horizon, avant de devenir blanche et brillante en montant dans le ciel.

La lune bleue atteindra son pic le dimanche 31 mai 2026 à 4 h 45 (HE). La précédente lune bleue remonte au 19 août 2024, une super lune bleue où la Lune était particulièrement proche de la Terre. Qu’est-ce qu’une microlune ? Une microlune se produit lorsque la Lune est à son point le plus éloigné de la Terre (environ 251 000 miles / 403 000 km), ce qui la fait apparaître plus petite et légèrement moins lumineuse. Est-ce que la lune bleue est vraiment bleue ? Non. Malgré son nom, la lune ne sera pas bleue. Elle brillera avec une teinte dorée au lever, puis passera à une lumière blanche argentée plus haut dans le ciel. Elle est appelée « lune bleue » parce qu’il s’agit de la deuxième pleine lune du mois de mai, après

May’s second full moon is almost here—and not only is it a rare blue moon, it’s also set to appear as a micromoon. Peaking early on May 31 and visible worldwide under clear skies, the blue moon will still appear full a few days before and after it peaks. Despite its nickname, the rare blue moon rising won't actually appear blue.  Depending on the weather, skywatchers can expect a golden-orange glow near the horizon before shifting to a bright whitish hue higher in the night sky. Read: Canada could be next as America's explosive tornado season shifts in an alarming way Photograph: Shutterstock / bhanubBlue moon When will May's blue moon peak? The blue moon will peak on Sunday, May 31, 2026, at 4:45 a.m. ET. The previous blue moon was on August 19, 2024, which was a super blue moon (the Moon was closest to Earth that month). What is a micromoon? A micromoon occurs when the Moon will be at its farthest distance from Earth (approximately 251,000 miles) and appear smaller. Is a blue moon actually blue? Despite its name, the moon will not appear blue and will shine with its usual golden-orange hue when rising, and transition to a bright, silvery-white. It is called a blue moon because it is the second full moon in May, following the Flower Moon on May 1. How often does a blue moon occur? Blue moons occur roughly every 2.5 years, according to NASA, and the term dates back to the 16th century. What are the other names for the Flower Moon? According to The Old Farmer’s Almanac, ever
