This year 2024 full pink moon (pink moon) was seen in different parts of the world.
During the Pink Moon, the planets Mars and Saturn were also visible on the horizon.
Pink moons were also observed in Britain, Eastern Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia.
It should be noted that according to astronomers, the distance between the Earth and the Moon is very small during the Pink Moon. The moon shines like a white bulb, which can be easily seen without any equipment or camera.
Why is it called a pink moon?
April’s full moon is known as the “pink” moon, named following the moss-like herb, also known as creeping phlox, moss phlox, or mountain phlox. It is a plant native to the eastern United States that has one of the earliest widespread blooms of spring.
According to experts, although the moon has nothing to do with this flower, if the sky is clear, its color can be seen pinkish.
This process usually occurs when the Moon is close to the horizon and when sunlight is reflected from the Moon towards the Earth and filtered through clouds, dust, smoke or air pollution in the atmosphere. Due to an effect called ‘moon illusion’, the moon can appear larger near the horizon.
According to NASA, other names for this moon include the Grass Moon, the Egg Moon, and among North American coastal tribes it is also called the Fish Moon, because this is when the shadow floats upward. Is.
