Tonight, full pink moon will shine and decorate the sky, however, this year's pink moon will be a micromoon.
The pink moon will be in its peal illumination, according to the U.S. Naval Observatory.
April’s full moon will rise from its farthest point from Earth, about 251,000 miles away, according to NASA.
Saturday’s full moon will appear up to 14% smaller and 30% dimmer than a supermoon.
It’s called a pink moon because some Eastern Native American tribes call April’s full moon the “pink moon” due to its connection with early spring wildflowers.
People need to go to an open area have the best view of the moon when it rises above the horizon.
Other names for the pink moon have included the sprouting grass moon, the egg moon and, among coastal tribes, the fish moon.
Other tribes named the April full moon as the “breaking ice moon” or the “moon when the ducks come back,” reflecting key signs of spring.
