Spring is popping in the northern hemisphere and the full flower moon joined in on the seasonal celebrations on May 12. Skywatchers on the ground were treated to a glowing disk of light. NASA astronaut Nichole Ayers enjoyed the view from a different vantage point -- way up on the International Space Station.

The Flower Moon will also look full in the days before and after its peak. If you're lucky and the clouds cooperate, you might even spot the star Antares, the fiery-orange heart of Scorpius, twinkling just below and to the left of the Moon.

Flower Moon is the fifth of twelve full moons scheduled for 2025. Occasionally, the lunar and solar calendars align to produce 13 full moons in a single year, as was seen in 2023 and will recur in 2028.
