STARGAZERS have an incredible opportunity this weekend to see this spring’s first full moon.
April’s Pink Moon will illuminate the sky from early Friday to Monday morning, according to NASA.
The moon will be at its peak fullness on Saturday around 2.55pm, but it will be highly visible that evening after sunset at 8.27pm.
Those who want to see the display should “find an open area and watch as the Moon rises just above the horizon, at which point it will appear its biggest and take on a golden hue,” according to the Old Farmers’ Almanac.
The Pink Moon is just one of the two celestial displays to look forward to in the coming days.
The Lyrids meteor shower and a full pink moon will both grace night skies above the US this week.
The Lyrid meteor shower is set to begin tonight, before peaking on April 22 when about 18 “shooting stars” will appear per hour.
