April's Pink Full Moon rises Saturday
Saturday will see the rise of the first full Moon of spring, known as the Pink Moon, which will also be a micromoon. Spring's first full Moon is a micromoon because it occurs when the Moon is farthest in its orbit from Earth, known as apogee.
The Moon will be fullest on Saturday at 8:22 p.m. ET, ahead of Palm Sunday. The Moon will appear full in the three days around April 13.
