Although named "Full Flower Blue Moon", it will not appear in blue.

"As the third full moon of a season with four full moons, it will be a blue moon in the old sense," according to an NASA article.

The name is also appropriate with the flowers that bloom abundantly in May.

NASA also said the moon "would look full for about three days, from Friday night to Monday morning, which would make it a full moon weekend".

In the country, the "full moon blue flower" can be best seen at 5:11 am Sunday.

By 2019, there were already several full moon phenomena such as the "Blood Moon", the "Pink Moon" and the "Super Worm Moon".
