If we see full moons every month, the one of this beginning of May is going to be original, with a different color, a little more coppery than usual. This Full Moon of flowers, so named because it occurs in spring, when the parks of the capital are filled with beautiful colors, will take place from 7:34 pm this Friday, May 5, 2023, but we will have to wait until the sun sets to see it in all its splendor, two hours later.
Even if we can't see it from our hemisphere, to our great regret, a penumbral eclipse of the Moon will take place at the same time as this full moon! But this is the reason why we should be able to enjoy a reddish Moon, because the night star will not be directly illuminated by the Sun, whose rays will be occulted by the presence of the Earth. A beautiful show to come!
Of course, this beautiful Full Moon will only be visible if the weather is mild and the storms are moving away from the capital, while the sun has made its return these last days with pleasant temperatures.
