April's Pink Moon to Illuminate the Night Sky This Week

The full moon, named after the pink flowers that bloom in early spring, will be visible from Monday to Wednesday.

April's full moon, known as the Pink Moon, is set to peak on Tuesday evening.
The Pink Moon gets its name not from its color, but from the pink creeping phlox flowers that bloom in North America.
Visibility of the moon will be best just after moonrise, with the moon appearing full from Monday morning to Thursday morning.
The Lyrid meteor shower coincides with the Pink Moon, but visibility may be limited due to the moon's brightness.
Other celestial bodies like Mars, Saturn, and Mercury will also be visible near the moon.
