"Pink" Moon/ The astronomical phenomenon that can be seen this weekend

A lunar phenomenon is expected to occur on two evenings this weekend across the world.

April's full moon, known as the Pink Moon, is an astronomical phenomenon that can be seen by billions of people.

What is a pink moon?

The name 'Pink Moon' might make it sound like the moon will glow a shade of pink, but that's not actually the case. The term comes from a wildflower that blooms in the spring, not the color of the moon.

Why is it called the Pink Moon?

"The Old Farmer's Almanac," which began popularizing full moon names in the 1930s, explains that the April full moon is often called the "Pink Moon" by some Eastern American tribes because of its association with early-blooming wildflowers. The Maine Farmer's Almanac specifically connects the name to the pink moss grass, a vibrant flower native to the Eastern U.S. that blooms in early spring.
