Do not miss the gorgeous' Pink Moon & # 39; this Friday

So you missed the "Super Blood Wolf Moon" in January. And the supermoon in March. There will be no other total lunar eclipse before May 2021, but do not give up for the moment: on Friday you will catch a pink moon.

According to the almanac of the old farmer, this year's Full Pink Moon will reach its peak at 4:12 am PST Friday.

Despite what its name suggests, the Pink Moon is not really pink. It's just the nickname that Native Americans gave to the full moon of April when the seasons were followed by the lunar calendar. The "pink moon" refers to the pink ground phlox, or "pink moss", an early spring flower. Other nicknames on this full moon on Good Friday include the moon to germinate, the moon to eggs and the moon to fish.

According to AccuWeather, the moon may look yellow, orange or red depending on weather conditions, even if it does not shine in a pastel pink worthy of Instagram.

To get the best view possible, choose a hill or skyscraper with a high, unobstructed view, and watch the moon set west early Friday morning or east at moonrise later in the day. In San Francisco, the sunset is at 18:58 on Friday and the rising of the moon at 20:21.
