Don't Miss the Pink Full Moon This Wednesday Night!

April's full moon, also known as the Pink Moon, will peak early Thursday morning and is the first full moon of spring. The Pink Moon gets its name from a hot pink wildflower that blooms during this time of year. Moon observers can see the lunar event starting Wednesday night, and for optimal viewing, NASA recommends finding a spot with minimal light pollution and with a clear view of the sky. There are nine more full moons this year to keep an eye out for, with two in August that are supermoons. Additionally, there will be four eclipses and several meteor showers throughout the year.
