Full Pink Moon (April 16, 2022) - first after Vernal Equinox

 the Full Moon in April 2022

Venture outside on the night of Saturday, April 16, 2022 to catch a glimpse of April’s full Pink Moon. This full Moon reaches peak illumination at 2:57 P.M. EDT, but won’t be visible above the horizon until after sunset.

For the best view of this lovely spring Moon, find an open area and watch as the Moon rises just above the horizon, at which point it will appear its biggest and take on a golden hue!

Paschal Full Moon: The First Full Moon of Spring

This year, April’s full Moon is the first full Moon of the spring season, which began with the spring equinox on March 20, 2022. This means that April’s full Moon is the Paschal Full Moon—an important Moon to those who celebrate Easter, since Easter’s date depends on the date of the Paschal Full Moon.
