The pink “supermoon” should be visible tonight, weather permitting! According to the Farmer’s Almanac, the moon won’t actually have a pink hue, but it will appear about 7% larger and about 15% brighter than usual.

The moon will be visible after sunset each night from now though until Wednesday. It should be at it’s brightest tonight (April 26th) though.

And while you’re looking skyward, be on the lookout for an annual meteor shower, active now until May 28th!

This full moon will also be the first of two supermoons for 2021, with the second occurring on May 26. That one should appear even larger as it will be even closer to Earth.
