Why is it called the pink moon?
For centuries, people around the world have named months after signs from nature. That’s why each full moon has its own name.
According to NASA, an organization called the Maine Farmer’s Almanac began publishing Native American names for full moons in the 1930s, and these names are now widely known and used.
April’s full moon is known as the “pink” moon, named after the moss-like herb, also known as creeping phlox, moss phlox, or mountain phlox. It is a plant native to the eastern United States that has one of the earliest broad blooms of spring.
According to experts, although the moon has nothing to do with this flower, if the sky is clear, its pink color can be seen.
This process usually occurs when the Moon is close to the horizon and sunlight is reflected from the Moon towards the Earth and filtered through clouds, dust, smoke or air pollution in the atmosphere. Due to an effect known as ‘lunar illusion’, the moon can appear larger near the horizon.
According to NASA, other names for this moon include the grass moon, the egg moon, and the fish moon among the coastal tribes of North America, because this is when the shadow floats up Is.
Despite the fact that people have observed this optical illusion for thousands of years, we still don’t have a solid scientific explanation for why the moon would turn pink, says NASA And why it looks bigger than usual ?
