The full moon this month is a special one that you won't want to miss!
This month's full moon is a "pink" supermoon. This means that the moon will seem to be bigger, a little closer to Earth, and brighter. This will be the second-closest full moon of the year.
Though it's called a "pink" moon, it won't actually be a different color. The name comes from the pink early springtime blooms of the Phlox subulata plant, called "moss pink."
So when is the best time to watch for the pink supermoon?
Arizona residents can catch the moon at its fullest on Monday night at about 8:31 p.m. in the Eastern skies over Arizona, according to TimeAndDate.com.
April's supermoon will be one of four supermoons in a row, which includes March's "worm" moon, and two more expected for May and June.
Here is a list of the other fulls moons remaining this year, according to The Old Farmer's Almanac:
- April 26th- Pink moon
- May 26th- Flower moon
- June 24th- Strawberry moon
- July 23rd- Buck moon
- August 22nd- Sturgeon moon
- September 20th- Harvest moon
- October 20th- Hunter's moon
- November 19th- Beaver moon
