April's full 'Pink Moon' blooms amid a meteor shower next week. Here's how to get the best view.
News

The fourth full moon of 2024, nicknamed the Pink Moon, will rise into spring skies this week, appearing bright and full from Monday to Wednesday (April 22-24).
The moon will be at its fullest Tuesday (April 23) and will shine in the constellation Virgo, close to Spica, one of the 20 brightest stars in the night sky. The moon will also appear bright and full Monday and Wednesday. This coincides with the peak of the Lyrid meteor shower, and may somewhat outshine the annual display of shooting stars; the best time to catch the shower will be on April 22 when the moon is at its lowest, just before dawn.
From North America, the best time to see the full moon is Tuesday, when it rises in the east very close to sunset. Check the moonrise and moonset times for your location, and find a place with a low view of the eastern horizon.
The Pink Moon gets its name from the color of blooming flowers this time of year, according to Time and Date. It's also called the Breaking Ice Moon, Budding Moon, Awakening Moon and Egg Moon.
