The full pink moon will be at its 'Peak Illumination' at 11.33 PM EDT. The full Pink Moon can be seen with naked eyes around the world.

The April Pink Super Moon will appear the largest when the moon rises just above the horizon and take on a golden pink hue.

Pink Moon is just a term used to describe the phenomenon, the Moon doesn't actually turn into that colour. Find out what exactly is the Pink Moon phenomenon, and why it became known as the 'Pink Moon'.

Every month has a day when the Full Moon appears. To be more precise, the Full Moon appears every 27 and a half days. The full moon that comes in April is called the Pink Moon. As per NASA, the reason the Full Moon in April is called the Pink Moon is that it's the first full moon of Spring. The name Pink Moon comes from the herb called Moss Pink which is found in the USA and sprouts flowers at the beginning of the Spring season. The moon can be seen all around the world. However, if people wish to see it clearly, they should find an isolated spot away from populated cities to view it properly.
