The Full Pink Moon of 2024 rises tonight.
Look to the east shortly after sunset to see the full moon rise above the horizon.
The moon will be in the Virgo constellation, and will have most of the night to enjoy the night sky by itself while the planets are situated on the other side of Earth, according to Space.com.
The full moon will be visible tonight when it is exactly 180 degrees opposite the sun in the sky. This will happen around 7:49 pm. EDT (2349 GMT). However, the moon will appear "full" to the naked eye throughout the entire night and will set in the west shortly before 7 a.m. local time.
Unfortunately, the peak of the Lyrid meteor shower also happens to coincide with the full moon this year, making this a bad year for Lyrid-lovers. When moonwatching, you might be able to catch sight of a bright Lyrid or two, but don't expect much, according to Space.com.
The name of April's Full Pink Moon is believed to come a pink flower known as the ground phlox, which commonly blooms in North America around this time.
Other names for the celestial event include the Sprouting Grass Moon, Egg Moon and Fish Moon.
