Astronomical observations are becoming a very interesting and colorful hobby for more and more people, and this Thursday, April 6, we are waiting for the show: ‘pink moon’ months.

Tonight we can see Full moon, appearing in our sky bigger and brighter. But will we really see her in pink?

April pink moon

The name of this event comes from Native American lore and is associated with the flowering of a native North American plant called pink moss or pink moss. Phlox subulatawhich blooms in pink tones in spring or autumn for our hemisphere.

Elsewhere in the world, the April supermoon is also known as the “grass sprouts moon”, “egg moon” or “fish moon”.

This is the first full moon after the vernal equinox, which occurred on March 21st.

So what color will Moon? It may appear white, grey, and sometimes yellow, orange, or reddish, especially near the horizon.

When to watch Pink Moon?

‘pink moon’ will be visible worldwide, but especially in the northern hemisphere.

Although Moon he will appear larger than usual for much of the night, his illuminated face fully visible at 04:35 GMT or 21:00 Peru.

If your city has good weather and few clouds, then it can be seen with the naked eye.
