What is tonight’s Pink supermoon and when will it appear?

The full moon that rises on Monday evening will seem bigger and brighter than usual, appearing as the first of only two supermoons in 2021.

April’s full moon is traditionally known as the Pink Moon, as its appearance coincides with the flowering of a type of pink moss called Phlox Subulata in in some regions of the northern hemisphere.

The title of supermoon is granted to full and new moons that pass Earth at the closest point in their orbit, which in April and May will be less than 360,000km (224,000 miles).
