The April full moon is also known as the “pink moon” because it is named after pink flowers, known as phlox, which bloom in the springtime

However, there might not be a change in the moon's colour, as the name would suggest.The event, described as being celestial, is expected to take place just before sunset on April 27th.

It is also a supermoon because the full moon will occur when it is near its closest point to the Earth in its orbit. "The exact moment of the full moon closest to this point – so the supermoon – is also on April 27th, but at 4.31am. During this time, the Earth’s natural satellite will still appear around 14 per cent bigger and 30 per cent brighter.
