April's Full Moon, commonly known as the âPink Moonâ, coincides with the peak of the Lyrid meteor shower this year, potentially overshadowing the annual display of shooting stars. The Moon will appear full for approximately three days, from Tuesday to Thursday morning.
The name âPink Moonâ for the Full Moon in April originates from the pink wildflowers that bloom in early spring. This association is mentioned in the Maine Farmers' Almanac, an annual American periodical. Additionally, the April Full Moon is known by various other names, such as the Sprouting Grass Moon, Egg Moon, and Fish Moon among coastal tribes, signifying shad spawning as they swim upstream.
