All those monthly #moon names are silly. As is "supermoon".

That said, I'm always a sucker for #moonrise, regardless of what month it is or how close or far the moon is. So here's this week's blue #micromoon, rising over the Caja del Rio.

Another Thing About the Moon

If you missed yesterday’s blue moon, don’t worry, it will still look full tonight too. And as I should also have mentioned, it’s a micromoon (the opposite of a supermoon). The moon is at apogee, or as far from us as it can get. Right now, that’s about 251,000 miles away. 

Here’s a NASA Astronomy Picture of the Day showing the difference between a supermoon and a micromoon. It’s not nothing! 

If you have a chance to see the (almost) full moon tonight, count yourself lucky. The next blue micromoon won’t happen until 2053.

The day that was. Late start. Cafe coffee/brunch. More household stuff. Clean balconies. Slow morning. Lunch. FaceTime call with friends. Slow afternoon. To Bondi. Early (for us) tea with friends. Walk home. Window shopping. Stream movie. That was the day of the #BlueMoon, #MicroMoon seen here above Ben Buckler, NSW. To come: lights out #OnlineJournal

The Bluest Moon.

Luna was a “blue moon” last night — the second full moon in a month according to popular folklore (though the term has different older meanings). She was also a micromoon, appearing slightly smaller and dimmer at her farthest point away from Earth. To my eyes she shone with her usual brilliance, but I played with editing software to turn her literally blue here.

Tonight’s “Blue Micromoon” is peak 2026 astronomy naming chaos.

Not blue.
Not micro.
Still absolutely guaranteed to make thousands of Australians walk outside and say -Geez the moon looks nice tonight

Why tonight's full moon will be a rare occurrence

If you look up to the full moon at sunset this evening, you may notice it looks ever so slightly smaller than usual.
