The Pink Moon Brightens Up the Sky

The name “Pink Moon” refers to the pink and pastel tree blossoms, which bloom before most of the ground flowers come to the surface.

Here’s this month’s pixel art:

The Moon and the World

Aside from being April’s Pink Moon, this moon also has the honor of being the Paschal Moon, the full moon that determines which Sunday will be Easter Sunday this year.

Also worth mentioning, this is the Full Moon that welcomes the Artemis II mission. A crew of astronauts is doing a flyby mission to swing by the moon right now. While the moon will already be well into its Waining Gibbous phase by the time the spacecraft nears it, I like knowing that the moon was full for the approach. When you see the moon this week, think of the Artemis II crew.
