Spectacular April’s full moon, crossed by the plane seen from the beach of Gavà , in the Baix Llobregat, as we can see in Las Fotos de los Lectores de La Vanguardia.
In the more detailed image we can see even the lunar craters, very well defined. This moon, very bright, has delighted the whole world.
The full moon in April is known as the Pink Moon or Pascual Moon, as it coincides with Easter. It is the first of spring, so it also marks the dates of Easter.
The reference to the “pink moon” does not refer to its color, but rather comes from Native American tradition associating it with the flowering of a North American native plant, pink moss or Phlox subulata, which blooms in shades of pink in spring.
There is also an explanation for why it looks so shiny. And it is that this full moon occurs at the closest moment between our natural satellite and planet Earth, so it appears larger and brighter.
