Flower Moon 2023: What is Flower Moon and how to witness May Lunar Eclipse

Flower Moon 2023: The Lunar Eclipse will occur today, May 5 and the star gazers in India would be able to witness this astronomical phenomenon. May's Lunar Moon is also called the Flower Moon. The Flower Moon is the second moon of spring. The name is linked with the spring. For similar reasons, other tribes reportedly named the moon based on the arrival of spring. For example, some northern Native American tribes referred to the May full moon as the "Budding Moon" or "Leaf Budding Moon" to celebrate the spring's new blooms. Some also called it the "Planting Moon" because it marked the time when seeds should be planted for the farming season ahead.

This timing means that the flower moon at its brightest point will be on the opposite side of the planet from North America, giving sky gazers in locations such as East Asia the best view.
