April Full Moon

There are few things in the sky more beautiful than a Full Moon. In April the Moon is Full on the 20th at 6:25am (EDT). It’s not really a pink moon but has been known by many a a Full Pink Moon. This designation came from the herb moss pink, or wild ground phlox, which is one of the earliest widespread flowers of the spring. And, yes, it is pink.

Moon names came from a variety of Native American tribes. So, there is no one name. Depending upon the tribe  location other names, the moon has been referred to this month also include  the Full Egg Moon, Full Fish Moon and the Full Sprouting Grass Moon.  Enjoy the April Full Pink Moon on Sunday.
