Here\u2019s what to know about the full pink moon, and when and how to see it tonight.<\/p>\n

Where does the \u201cpink moon\u201d get its name?<\/h2>\n

This so-called pink moon gets its name from the wildflower phlox subulata, or \u201cmoss pink,\u201d which blooms around this time each spring in North America, according to The Old Farmer\u2019s Almanac<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Cherokee, Hopi, and Assiniboine Indigenous communities have other names for it, including kawohni<\/em> (flower moon), kwiyamuyaw<\/em> (windbreak moon), and tabehatawi<\/em> (frog moon), respectively, per CNN.<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

However, its color is less bright pink than gray, and it may even appear red or orange in some places, the BBC reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What time does the April 2026 full moon peak?<\/h2>\n

Spring\u2019s first full \u201cpink moon\u201d peaks tonight, Wednesday April 1, at 10:12 p.m. ET., just hours after the launch window opens for the Artemis II mission to the moon, according to Space.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
