On the night of Monday, April 26, full Moon emerges. This new moon is traditionally called the Pink Moon and a beautiful supermoon too! Here’s all, including truth, mythology and dates from the Moon, which you need to know this month.
The first supermoon in the last year MOON SUPER PINK
Two supermoons will be viewed this year. The first will take place on April 26 and the second will take place on May 26. It is said that supermoons are larger and lighter than the normal full moon.
How big and how light, how bright? On average, supermoons are about 7 percent higher than a normal full moon and almost 15 percent brighter. But once you saw a full moon and a supermoon standing side by side in the sky, it’s very difficult to spot this disparity! Here you can find out more about supermoons.
Why did the pinch moon come up?
Various locations, from native American, colonial Americans and European sources use the full moon names of the old farmers’ almanacks. Each full Moon name was traditionally applied not only to the full Moon but also to the whole lunar month in which this happened.
The Moon of Rose
Although we wish this name was related to Moon’s colour, the truth isn’t as magical or amazing. True, April full moon often matched that of an early spring flower from eastern North America, called “pinching phlox” or “moss phlox” which has often been called “moss-pink.” “Phlox subulatas.”
