A Pink Full Moon Will Be Lighting up the Sky on April 6th
The pink moon will be visible for an entire week.
The full moon of April, also known as the Pink Moon, will be at its peak next to the star Spica starting Thursday, April 6th.
The moon will start to become visible on Wednesday, April 5th and Friday, April 7th, but the ideal time to catch a glimpse of the full Pink Moon will be on Thursday, April 6th, at 8:34 pm Dubai time.
April's full moon is called the Pink Moon because of the pink phlox wildflowers that are native to North America and bloom in April. Sadly, the moon will not be literally pink.
Nonetheless, the Pink Moon is the first full moon of spring. It is also known as the Pesach or Passover Moon because of its proximity to Passover, which falls on Wednesday, April 5th and Easter, which is on Sunday, April 9th.
