April’s ‘Pink Moon’ is coming: When to catch it and everything you need to know about this week's lunar show

The "Pink Moon," the first full moon of spring, will reach peak illumination on April 2nd, though the evening of April 1st offers the best viewing. Despite its name, the moon will likely appear orange or golden due to atmospheric scattering. This lunar event also determines the dates for Easter and Passover.
