Pink moon to rise in April The full "pink moon" will be rising in the sky on Saturday, April 16, 2022.

Pink flowers. Pink Easter bonnets. And pink Peeps marshmallow candy. So why not have a pink moon?

Well, there will be a “pink moon” shining in the sky — sort of — when the April moon of 2022 turns full this weekend. Although the moon won’t actually look pink, it carries that colorful nickname because of the pink flowers that start to bloom in early April.

If you look into the sky on Saturday night, April 16, the first full moon of spring will look like any other ordinary full moon — sporting a yellow or golden-orange glow when it starts to rise and giving off a whitish tint as it appears higher in the sky.

The next full moon in May will be a more impressive spectacle because it coincides with a total lunar eclipse. (More on that below.)

Betcha there was no ‘pink’ moon ten years ago. Just more innovation as we get dragged into the lgbt era.

Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon.

I was doing a little research the other day about great human achievements. In the category of music it had, among others, Beethoven's 5th Symphany and ... Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. I love Pink Floyd's music and believe it will be played for 500 years (or more), but I was still surprised to see it on the list.

Full moons are a pain in the ass. My VA doc told me today that my kidney reading went up 0.125%. Don’t know what that means. All I know is that the full moon did it.

F*** the full moon.

You would lose that bet as it started in the 1930s.

Suspect your right. ‘Pink’ Floyd is from the 70s.
