Look up after sunset tomorrow! πβ¨
Tomorrow, May 31, 2026, a rare celestial "double feature" is coming! For one night only, a Blue Moon will share the stage with a beautiful planetary lineup of Jupiter, Venus, and Mercury in the western sky just after sunset.
Although itβs called a "Blue Moon" because it's the second full moon in a single month, it wonβt actually look blueβbut it will be a stunning sight to see alongside our planetary neighbors!
Find a spot with a clear horizon for the best view of Mercury!
β° Best viewing: 30 to 45 minutes after sunset
π Where to look: Toward the western sky
No telescope needed. Just find a dark location away from city lights, give your eyes 20β30 minutes to adjust to the dark, and enjoy the show.
This is a breathtaking space show you absolutely do not want to miss. Tag a friend you want to stargaze with! π
