‘Stunning' Pink Moon to rise over the UK on Good Friday

‘Stunning’ Pink Moon to rise over UK on Good Friday – what is it, when can you see it, and why will it actually be orange?By Charlotte Edwards, Digital Technology and Science ReporterA PINK Moon will appear in the Sky this Friday, in time for the Good Friday bank holiday celebrations.

Stargazers in the UK should be able to spot the orange Pink Moon at around 8:05pm BST, although it would have already reached its full moon phase by 12.12pm.The phrase 'Pink Moon' actually came about due to a spring flower called Wild Ground Phlox, which is very pink and appears in the US at the same time as April's full moon.

The Pink Moon will look orange as it rises because when a large full moon is seen low in the sky, it appears red or orange in colour as it is being viewed through a greater thickness of the Earth's atmosphere.

Nancy Pelosi: No UK-US trade deal if Good Friday Agreement is underminedSpeaker of the US House of Representatives says peace treaty could not be 'bargained away in another agreement' Good, great in fact! because not every Brit thinks a trade deal with the USA will be in Britain's best interests. Would rather see deals done with countries like Russia with its great organic food market that is developing and going from strength to strength - far healthier.
