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.
