Scorpio Full Moon May 11 2017
While we can't guarantee that April's showers will bring May flowers, you can definitely count on a full Flower Moon to arrive this month. In fact, the May full moon occurs tonight! See our latest update here: See the Full 'Flower Moon' Rise Tonight
The full moon of May, also known as the Flower Moon or Milk Moon, rises Wednesday (May 10) at 5:42 p.m. EDT (2142 GMT). It will appear full to the casual observer for about a day before and after. However, the exact moment at which the moon is fullest — when the sun, Earth and moon align — won't be visible to observers in North America, because the moon will be below the horizon. [The Moon: 10 Surprising Lunar Facts] East Coast observers in the U.S., for example, will see the moon rise a few minutes before 8 p.m., 2 hours after the full moon's peak. On the other hand, if you are in Europe, the moon will reach peak fullness while it's high in the sky late at night. In Paris, for example, the full moon happens at 11:42 p.m., about 4 hours after moonrise.
