The Pink Moon does not actually turn pink but can take on a slightly orange or copper tone when low on the horizon due to atmospheric scattering.
The moon serves as a seasonal marker, coinciding with the arrival of spring and Easter Sunday.
Tourism Sees Bright Spot
Tourism marketing agencies are seizing upon the Pink Moon to counterbalance the impact of the war.
The most favorable moment to enjoy the Pink Moon is just after it appears in the east.
An optical illusion caused by atmospheric refraction often makes the Moon appear larger.
