Latest News About Pleine Lune 1Er Mai 2026

Here are the latest widely reported details about the May 1, 2026 full moon (pleine lune) and related lunar events.

• May 1, 2026 full moon timing and name: The full moon occurs on May 1 at around 19:23 UTC and is commonly called the Flower Moon (pleine lune des fleurs) due to spring blossoms. This is the first of two full moons in May 2026.[1][4]
• May 2026 lunar sequence: After the May 1 Flower Moon, the Moon reaches a last quarter phase around May 9, followed by a New Moon around May 16, then a First Quarter around May 23, and a Second Flower Moon on May 31.[3][4]
• Notable context: The May 2026 calendar includes two full moons in the same month (a calendar blue moon phenomenon in some descriptions), and the May 1 full moon is sometimes described as a micro or smaller-than-average moon due to its distance.[7][1]
• Observing tips for Dallas, TX: In your location, aim to view after sunset on May 1; check local sunset times and the Moon’s rise in your area for best viewing windows. The Moon will be relatively high in the evening sky if skies are clear.[4]
