If you are reading this you have ample notice about this evening's full moon - called the 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 their pink blooms
that coincides with the April full moon. The Full Pink Moon of April
rises this evening and will be at peak illumination at 6:49 PM CST.
The
April full moon is also known as the Sprouting Grass Moon, the Egg Moon
and the
Fish Moon. The Algonquin people knew this as the Breaking Ice Moon
while the Dakota identify this as the When The Ducks Come Back Moon.
These native tribal themes are certainly true around here.
