Tonight’s “Pink Moon,” or full moon in April, is expected to light up the sky
Tonight’s full moon is expected to be spectacular once more, but this time it will be recognized as April’s “Pink Moon,” which is also referred to as the “Sprouting Grass Moon,” “Egg Moon,” and “Fish Moon,” among other names.
The pink moon will be visible in the sky on Tuesday, April 23, at 7:49 p.m. EDT, when it will be opposite the sun, according to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (Nasa).
On Wednesday, the ‘Pink Moon’ will be visible from the time zones of Portugal, the United Kingdom, and Ireland eastward throughout Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia to the International Date Line in the mid-Pacific.
Around this period, the moon will seem full for around three days, starting on Monday morning and ending on Thursday morning.
When will the next lunar eclipse occur?
The next full moon will be seen on Thursday, May 23, at 9:53 a.m. EDT, according to NASA.
Due to the NASA Headquarters’ location in Washington, DC, the moon will be full for almost three days during this period, starting on Tuesday night and ending early on Friday evening.
But the full moon event for next month will fall on a Friday morning, moving eastward from the Lord Howe time zone to the International Date Line.
