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. ..................

I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.
