We don’t see two full moons in a month too often

We don’t see two full moons in a month too often—the dates need to work out just right. �But once in a blue moon… it does happen!

The phrase “Once in a blue moon” is used to mean “rarely” or “infrequently.” Digging back to find out where the phrase came from you also find reports of “blue moons” around volcanic eruptions—hopefully an infrequent event! This is an example of the moon literally turning slightly blue in color—it can happen when particles of just the right size in the air change the color we see.�

This May's Blue Moon is also a micro-moon- the Moon is at its furthest from Earth, making it look a little smaller than average and a little less bright. But this Blue Moon is still wonderful, and it is said that a wish made on a blue moon can give us a second chance with something special. Best wishes! 🤞

miSci would like to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who joined us for this year’s Big Bang: Building Our Future, presented by GE Aerospace, on May 7th.

With more than 130 guests in attendance, together we raised over $50,000 in support of miSci’s mission to celebrate education, explore innovation, and inspire future generations. None of this would be possible without the generosity of our community, sponsors, trustees, staff, volunteers and supporters.

This evening was especially meaningful as we carried forward the vision and passion of our late President, Chris Hunter. We are proud to continue building the future he believed so deeply in, and we hope this year‘s event made him proud.

Thank you for being part of such an unforgettable evening and for helping ensure miSci’s impact continues for generations to come. We hope to see you all again at next year‘s Big Bang!
