If you are reading this you have ample notice about tonight's Pink Moon.
The term ‘Pink Moon’ actually does not imply that the
moon is pink. The term derives from the
spring appearance of native ground phlox and its pink blooms that coincides
with the April full moon. The April full
moon is also known as the Sprouting Grass Moon, the Egg Moon and the Fish
Moon.
This also comes with a bonus as it happens to be the third of a lineup
of four supermoons this year. The first
two occurred on February and March 9th. The next will be showing itself on May 7th.
Supermoons are both full and closer in their
orbit around the earth. As a consequence they appear much larger than
an ordinary full moon.
The moon tonight
will be its largest just after 9:30.
Fingers crossed for good viewing conditions.
