See May's full 'Flower Moon' bloom in gorgeous photos from around the world

An orange full moon illuminates thin clouds above the domed exterior of the Jefferson Memorial in Washington D.C. at night. Trees are visible in the foreground bordering a lake.

May's full "Flower Moon" has come and gone, dazzling stargazers with a magnificent display of natural light as it cut a lazy arc over the southern horizon, below the stars of the constellation Virgo.

The Flower Moon — named for the colorful blooms that appear in the northern hemisphere around the time it rises — bloomed into the night sky on May 1, as the blue-white star Spica and red Arcturus twinkled nearby.
