Get Ready for the Spectacular Pink Full Moon!

Mark your calendars! Tonight, the sky will be graced by April's famous Pink Moon, peaking at 8:22 p.m. EDT. But don't be surprised if it looks a bit smaller than usual—this full moon is also a micromoon!

What’s a micromoon, you ask? It occurs when the moon reaches its full phase while positioned at its farthest point from Earth, known as apogee. This celestial phenomenon makes the Pink Moon appear approximately 14% smaller and 30% dimmer compared to the dazzling spectacle of a supermoon.

Clear Skies Ahead for Most!

Excited about sky-gazing? You're in luck if you're located in the central and southern U.S., where weather forecasts promise clear skies. However, if you're situated in the East or certain areas in the West, be prepared for some potential cloud cover that might obstruct your view.

So grab your friends, head outside, and don’t miss this enchanting blend of beauty and scientific wonder! Witnessing the Pink Moon is a magical experience that connects us with the universe.
