News Desk: Despite its name, the moon will likely appear orange rather than pink, offering a spectacular sight in the spring night sky.
What is pink moon?
The April full moon is traditionally called the Pink Moon, named after the pink wildflower, moss phlox, that blooms in North America during spring. It does not appear pink in color, but rising on the evening of 1 April, the moon can look orange.
This effect occurs because sunlight passes through a denser layer of the Earth’s atmosphere at moonrise, scattering blue and violet light and leaving only warmer, redder tones.
