Lots To See In The Night Sky
April: Pink Moon - Northern Native Americans call April's full moon the pink moon after a species of early blooming wildflower. In other cultures, this moon is called the sprouting grass moon, the egg moon, and the fish moon.
May: Flower Moon June: Strawberry Moon July: Buck Moon August: Sturgeon Moon September: Harvest Moon October: Hunter's Moon November: Beaver Moon .December: Cold Moon
Pink Moon Coming Soon
So this year the Full Pink Moon will rise on Saturday, April 16th, though it won’t actually appear pink—that’s just a nickname that derives from the wild ground phlox, a pink flower that typically blooms in April.
Then on April 30th, the second new moon of the calendar month will be happening, which is known as a black moon. The last time a black moon occurred was in July 2019, and it won’t happen again until December 2024.
