\n Despite its name, however, the Pink Moon will not appear very rosy at all.\n<\/p>\n
\n The name, like most other full moons, dates back to a time when people named them after seasonal changes in nature to keep track of passing months.\n<\/p>\n
\n The Pink Moon was named by northern Native Americans in reference to a species of early blooming wildflower and has an important role in setting the dates for Easter and Passover.\n<\/p>\n
\n On April 1, the full moon will rise and is more likely to appear a shade of orange than pink.\n<\/p>\n
\n When it reflects the sunlight, it reaches the Earth through a denser part of the Earth’s atmosphere which scatters blue and violet light, with only the redder hues visible to the human eye.\n<\/p>\n
\n Those in Norfolk should get a glimpse of the moon, which will reach its peak just after 3am on April 2.\n<\/p>\n
\n Thick cloud is forecast until about 10pm on April 1 before it clears slightly, with the best view expected around midnight before it gets cloudy again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Despite its name, however, the Pink Moon will not appear very rosy at all.
