Bright Moon Tonight, Supermoon Tomorrow

Year's 1st supermoon early this week

Around the world, the moon will look nearly full tonight and full on Monday and Tuesday (April 26 and 27). The crest of the full moon will fall on April 27 at 03:31 UTC (Monday evening for us in the U.S.). In North America, we call the April full moon the Pink Moon. The April 2021 full moon presents the first of a "season" of 3 full-moon supermoons. April's supermoon is the 2nd closest full moon supermoon of the year. Expect the moon to look particularly bright, and, if you live on the coast, expect higher-than-usual tides in the coming week.
