I just went outside -- the Flower Moon is beautiful.  It still hasn't reached it's brightest point yet .....

Flower Moon: When you can see the last full Moon of spring

May's 2023 Flower Moon put on a stunning show from New York to Kenya.

The last full Moon of spring, which is called the Flower Moon, happens Thursday night.

Actually, if we are splitting hairs, NASA put the official full Moon, its brightest point, at 9:53 a.m. Thursday. However, the author of NASA's Skywatching Guide, a retired NASA program executive, wrote that there is no need to rush.

"The Moon will appear full for about three days around this time, from Tuesday night through early Friday evening," Gordon Johnson wrote.

NASA astronomers did capture it at it's fullest, though.

..........May’s full moon is known as the flower moon, a reference to its appearance in late spring, when many flowering plants begin to bloom again after their winter slumber. The glowing orb will reach maximum illumination on Thursday at 9:53 a.m. ET, according to NASA. ..................

Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
