Full Moon On Tap

If you are reading this you have ample notice about tomorrows' 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.  

If you venture outside the evening of Monday, April 26 you can observe April's Pink Moon rising after sunset.  This is the first of two Supermoons of 2021 and will reach peak illumination at 10:30 PM.  A Supermoon is characterized by a brighter and larger appearance.

The April full moon is also known as the Sprouting Grass Moon, the Egg Moon and the Fish Moon.
