In the days ahead, the moon will once again make an impressive appearance in the sky, following the unusual total solar eclipse that adorned North America at the beginning of April.
Sadly, the moon will not be pink—I hope that doesn't crush your heart.
The moon will instead be its typical golden hue, gradually becoming a brilliant white.
The term "pink moon" describes the lunar eclipse that occurs in April.
The eastern United States natural herb moss creeping hoax provides the inspiration for the pink color.
Full moons have been given names by humans for ages.
Nasa reports that in the 1930s, the Maine Farmers' Almanack—which had been publishing since 1818—began employing Native American names for full moons. Names like this have exploded in popularity and usage since then.
Because it was during this moon that shad migrated upstream to spawn, Nasa has given it other names such as the budding grass moon, the egg moon, and the fish moon.
