The moon will be full on Saturday, and that has some sky watchers proclaiming the arrival of a « blue flower moon. » The explanation gets a little convoluted, but the easy part is that May’s full moon is often called the « flower moon » because of all the spring blooms, reports CNN. As for the « blue » part: A common (if disputed) definition of a blue moon is that it’s the second full moon in a given month—which does not apply here.
