First Supermoon of 2021 will be an April “Pink” Moon

On April 26th, the first supermoon of 2021 will rise.  It is known as the “Pink” moon because it is a full moon in spring when flowers start to bloom.  However, the moon will not look pink.  It will have a yellow/orange color before reaching the signature white glow.

Rochester First explains when you can see it:

“The pink supermoon will rise in Western New York skies around 7:43 PM and peak at around 11:31 PM. Find a dark area with enough viewing space to spot the moon at its closest to the horizon, since this is when the moon will appear the brightest.”
