Is the April Pink Moon really pink? Here's what time to watch Aprils full moon and what you need to know tonight

April's full moon, called the Pink Moon, arrives this week. It is named for a blooming wildflower, not its color. The moon may appear larger due to a phenomenon called moon illusion. This celestial event is also significant for determining Easter's date. Viewers can look towards the eastern horizon after sunset to witness this spectacle.
