Pink Moon Rising - April's Stunning Full Moon

April's full Moon is known as the Pink Moon. Unfortunately the Moon will not turn a bright pink colour but the full Moon will be spectacular on its own.

According to Royal Observatory Greenwich, the April full Moon derives its names from a species of pink early blooming wildflower, observed by Northern Native Americans.

The April full Moon always shines in or near the stars of Virgo. As darkness falls on April 24, you'll see the full Moon rather close to Spica, Virgo's one and pnly 1st-magnitude star.

In the Southern Hemisphere, where it's autumn, this April's full Moon counts as the Southern Hemisphere's Hunter's Moon. If you live at middle or far southerly latitudes, enjoy your April Hunter's Moon.

When the Moon is full it's easy to see some details - the lunar maria, for example. So, go outside and enjoy the show!

Stay Tuned!
