Astronomy and astrology enthusiasts will gather on the night of Sunday April 13, 2025 to contemplate the April full moon. As anyone who closely follows the lunar cycle will know. The star of the night changes its nickname every month. After the snow moon, the strawberry moon and the storm moon in April, we’ll be treated to the famous pink full moon. But will it really be this shade? And what’s the best time to observe it in Toulouse? We tell you all about it.
Will April’s full moon really be pink?
At 02:22 on the night of Sunday April 2, the April full moon will be observed by all brave eyes still awake. Despite its name, however, this moon won’t be a dazzling shade of pink. However, the most observant may catch a glimpse of a subtle powdery pink.
Red hues may also appear, depending on the particles suspended in the atmosphere and refracting in the sunlight. This phenomenon is also observed during the full flower moon in May and the full strawberry moon in June.
So why the nickname? At this time of year, pink phlox blooms in North America. So it’s these little pink flowers that have given their name to this full moon.
Although these charming names don’t directly affect the appearance of our nocturnal satellite, they do have symbolic importance for some.
