Look Up Tonight for a Glimpse of the Pink Full Moon

Date:

Be sure to turn your eyes to the skies this evening for the pink full moon. It’s also sometimes referred to as the Paschal Moon, the first full moon of spring.

The full moon that occurs each April is the smallest full moon of the year as it occurs in apogee (when the moon is farthest from Earth in its orbit).

Look to the eastern horizon as the moon rises near sunset for the best view. The night sky will be illuminated by the pink moon, the first full moon of spring, on Saturday, April 12, at 8:22 p.m.

This moon is so named because of the herb moss pink, one of the earliest and most prevalent flowers of spring.
