Cada dos o tres años, el calendario humano y el ciclo lunar se desacomodan lo suficiente como para que un mismo mes albergue dos lunas llenas. El 31 de mayo, México será testigo de ese desajuste matemático: una segunda luna llena —bautizada como Luna Azul— ascenderá al cielo a las 7:06 p.m., alcanzando su máximo esplendor en la madrugada del 1 de junio cerca de Antares, el corazón rojo del Escorpión. No será azul, ni extraordinariamente grande; su rareza reside en el simple hecho de que el cosmos avanza con una precisión que nuestros calendarios apenas logran seguir.
