On Buddha's birthday, Vietnamese people can admire the magical full moon of May, also known as Flower Moon.
According to the Hanoi Astronomical Society (HAS), at this time the moon will be on the opposite side of the earth, because the sun and its face will be fully illuminated. This phase occurs on May 23, at 8:55 p.m. (Vietnam time). According to Livescience , the moon will also be bright and full today, May 22 (April 15 of the lunar calendar) and May 24. This full moon was called the Flower Moon by early Native American tribes because this is the time of year when spring flowers appear in abundance. This moon is also known as the Corn Moon and the Milk Moon.
The full moon in May is also known as the Flower Moon.

Researchers also said that the full moon in May is also known as the Rabbit Moon. Many people mistakenly think that this name reminds them of the story of Chang'e and the Jade Rabbit, which originated in China and is very popular in the East. However, this name comes from Europe, referring to the time of year when rabbits multiply very quickly and people start to set traps to catch them. In North America, quite close to the origin of the April Pink Moon, the full moon in May is called the Flower Moon because that is the period when many flowers bloom in the fields and forests in this region. Having prepared his "tools" - a camera - Mr. Le Nhan (25 years old, living in Ho Chi Minh City) said that he plans to watch and take pictures of the full moon this month. He said that he plans to compile a collection of photos of the full moon in 12 months this year. “I hope the sky will be a little cloudy, with the moon peeking out to make it more magical. Since the moon is at its fullest around 9pm, it's convenient, but I'll shoot when it starts to rise over the horizon," he said.
