Skywatchers are in for a rare celestial treat as the only “Blue Moon” of 2026 is set to appear on May 31. The term refers to the rarity of the event, not its colour. At the same time, Earth is passing through debris left behind by Halley's Comet, triggering a meteor shower that peaked in early May. Together, these events are creating a stunning night sky for astronomy enthusiasts.
