The Pink Moon is a term used to describe the full moon that appears in April.
The Pink Moon is named after pink wildflowers, known as phlox, that bloom in early spring. The name does not imply that the moon appears pink in colour.
Pink Moon is also known as Sprouting Grass Moon, Egg Moon, and Fish Moon in various cultures and traditions.
The Pink Moon reached its zenith at 10.05 am IST on April 6, 2023. In India, however, people can enjoy the stunning moon after sunset on Friday evening too.
April's full Moon signifies Easter in the Christian calendar, Pesach. In Hinduism, it falls in Chaitra; and is midway through Ramadan in the Islamic calendar.
Twitter is full of stunning shots of the Pink Moon. Here is one captured over Mt Fuji in Japan.
In another shot, the Pink moon is seen over Southern Alberta, Canada, yesterday.
One user captured a beautiful timelapse of the Pink Moon setting behind SpaceNeedle in the Seattle skyline, USA.
According to experts, we can see the Pink Moon even today; April 7 evening. Use binoculars for a clear view.
