"A rare astronomical event known as a 'blue micromoon' will be visible in Australia on May 31. The event combines a calendar blue moon (second full moon in a month) and a micromoon (full moon near apogee). Experts note the moon will appear slightly smaller than average, though the difference is difficult to perceive with the naked eye."
