April’s stunning ‘Pink Moon’ rises this week

The moon this week promises to be quite a sight to behold.

Stargazers who step outside this week will likely get to see the fabled “pink moon” of April.

However, don’t expect it to look particularly pink. It is named after pink flowers called wild ground phlox, which bloom in early spring and become widespread throughout the U.S. and Canada this time of year.

One can view it through tinted glasses to see its pink color. It has other names, too, like fish moon, grass moon, and egg moon.

It will appear full to casual observers everywhere, even here in the UAE, from April 10 to April 12.
