SUPER PINK MOON OF APRIL
On Tuesday, April 7, 2020 at 10:35 EDT, we mark the full Moon of April. It’s the nearest (and, thus, biggest and brightest) supermoon of the year!
Based on a longtime Almanac tradition, we give each lunar month a nickname and April’s Moon is called the “Pink Moon.” No, it’s not because it will turn pink (though a Moon low in the sky will look pinkish). The name speaks to wildflowers called creeping phlox, ground phlox, or moss pink, one of the early spring flowers which blooms at this time.
