Pink Moon

Why is it called a pink moon?

The name can be traced back to North American aboriginal peoples, who referred to the full moon in April as a pink moon after a type of wildflower that blooms early in the year, helping to signify that spring has arrived.

The moon doesn’t actually appear pink in color.
