The Moon of next April 16 is one of the most anticipated of the year. That night, the Pink Moon of April adorns the sky, an astronomical phenomenon that will allow the satellite to be observed up to 30 percent larger than what is observed from Earth.
It is a special full moon and it receives that name because it marks the flowering season of the Phlox plant, better known as pink moss, one of the main spring flowers in the United States, as explained by Semana.
Also known as the Grass Moon or the Egg Moon, the Pink Moon will be visible for a couple more days. According to National Geographic, on this occasion “this natural satellite will not emit light by itself, but rather reflects it from the central star of the Solar System, the Sun.”

How, when and where to see the Pink Moon of April?
To see the April Pink Moon, NASA experts explain that you must be in a place with little light pollution. A site where artificial light is limited, which prevents a natural view of the celestial vault.
It also recommends stopping using screens such as cell phones, computers or television half an hour before. In this way the eyes will adapt to the dark and will more easily detect the flashes of the night.
