May 12, 2025 — The Full Flower Moon Rises
May's full moon is traditionally known as the "Flower Moon," symbolizing the blooming beauty of late spring. On the night of May 12th, 2025, this micro full moon will grace the sky. While slightly smaller due to its position at the apogee (the farthest point from Earth), its glow will still be striking and serene.
This is a great opportunity for astronomy lovers to observe the moon's detailed surface — from the Sea of Tranquility to the rugged craters. Photographers can also use this micro moon to create comparison shots with a supermoon.
Viewing Tips:
Best time to observe: 8:00 PM to midnight on May 12th.
Find an open southeastern horizon for a clear view of moonrise.
Use tracking features for improved long-exposure photography.
Recommended Equipment:
Medium-to-high magnification refractor telescopes for surface detail.
Smartphone adapters to capture clear, close-up shots of the full moon.
With the Gskyer High-Power Telescope and phone mount, you can easily capture breathtaking details of the moon’s surface — turning this Flower Moon into a stargazing and photography experience.
