May's "flower" supermoon will grace the sky this Wednesday.This supermoon will be the closest moon to Earth in 2021, according to EarthSky.There are two to four supermoons each year. These lunar events are often a brilliant sight to see because they are brighter and larger than a normal full moon. The definition of a supermoon varies, but it's generally defined by how close the moon is to the Earth. May's supermoon will also be the first total lunar eclipse since January 2019, according to EarthSky. It will take the moon just over three hours to cross through the Earth's shadow, but the actual lunar eclipse will last under 15 minutes.During the eclipse, the moon will have a reddish hue from the sunlight filtering through the Earth's atmosphere, according to NASA, so you can also refer to this month's event as a "blood moon."Depending on your location, you may be able to get a glimpse of part of the eclipse. Most of North and South America will be able to see it in the early morning hours while eastern Asia and Australia will see it in the evening.In the United States, the total eclipse will begin at 7:11 a.m. ET and end at 7:26 a.m. ET, but will be partially visible from 5:45 a.m. ET to 8:52 a.m. ET.

Many Native American tribes across the country took inspiration from spring's blossoms when naming May's full moon, according to the Western Washington University Planetarium.The Anishnaabe tribe in the Great Lakes region call the full moon "waabigwani-giizis" or "blossom moon." The Lakota tribe on the Northern Plains call it "canwape to wi" or "moon of the green leaves."Some tribes named the moon after a popular red berry, with the Potawatomi tribe in the Great Lakes region calling it "te'minkeses" and the Shawnee tribe in the Midwest calling it "hotehimini kiishthwa," both of which translate to strawberry moon.Typical of a normal year, 2021 has 12 full moons. (There were 13 full moons last year, two of which were in October.) Here is what else you can look forward to in 2021:Meteor showersThe Delta Aquariids meteor shower is best seen from the southern tropics and will peak between July 28 and 29, when the moon is 74% full.Interestingly, another meteor shower peaks on the same night — the Alpha Capricornids. Although this is a much weaker shower, it has been known to produce some bright fireballs during its peak. It will be visible for everyone regardless of which side of the equator you are on.The Perseid meteor shower, the most popular of the year, will peak between Aug. 11 and 12 in the Northern Hemisphere, when the moon is only 13% full.Here is the meteor shower schedule for the rest of the year, according to EarthSky's meteor shower outlook.Oct. 8: DraconidsOct. 21: OrionidsNov. 4 to 5: South TauridsNov. 11 to 12: North TauridsNov. 17: LeonidsDec. 13 to 14: GeminidsDec. 22: Ursids Solar and lunar eclipses An annular eclipse of the sun will happen on June 10, visible in northern and northeastern North America from 4:12 a.m. ET to 9:11 a.m. ET. The sun won't be fully blocked by the moon, so be sure to wear eclipse glasses to safely view this event.Nov. 19 will see a partial eclipse of the moon, and skywatchers in North America and Hawaii can view it between 1 a.m. ET and 7:06 a.m. ET.And the year will end with a total eclipse of the sun on Dec. 4. It won't be visible in North America, but those in the Falkland Islands, the southern tip of Africa, Antarctica and southeastern Australia will be able to spot it.
