April's full moon won't shine pink tonight, despite its name, but the bright golden orb may provide a sight to behold.

Moon watchers can start seeing the lunar event starting Wednesday evening and it will peak early Thursday morning.

"The April full moon, at first glance, will look like other full moons," said Dr. Noah Petro, chief of NASA's Planetary Geology, Geophysics and Geochemistry Laboratory, in an email. 

“However, each presents a unique opportunity to see a beautiful Moon and its phases. I encourage people to dust off their binoculars or telescopes to get a closer look at the Moon, try to see the different colors (light and dark regions) and realize that those differences reflect different rock compositions," he added. .

Full moons are visible to those in the northern and southern hemispheres, as they are considered to be in full moon phase up to 12 hours before and after their peak, according to EarthSky.

For optimal viewing of the pink moon, Petro recommends finding a spot with minimal light pollution and a clear view of the sky. Viewers can also keep an eye out for Venus and Mars, as they will be out and quite close to the moon in the night sky.

Pink moon gets its name from a hot pink wildflower, Phlox subulata, that grows in a thick mat of living leaves, commonly called creeping phlox, moss phlox, or moss pink. The wildflower is native to eastern North America and often attracts butterflies that herald the arrival of spring, according to the Farmer's Almanac.

This year's April full moon is also the first full moon of spring, otherwise known as the Easter full moon. This lunar event is of particular importance to those who celebrate Easter, as the date of the religious celebration falls on the Sunday after the appearance of the Easter moon in the night sky.
