Super Pink Moon 2020: What is it?
A supermoon is a full moon that appears closest to the earth during its elliptical movement. Since the moon is the closest to the earth (356,907km), it will appear quite large and bright. To clear the mist, the Super Pink Moon isn't pink in colour. It was called so by the Native Americans as it determines the blooming of early spring flowers such as the pink ground phlox, according to The Farmer's Almanac.
It is also known by other names such as Sprouting Grass Moon, the Egg Moon, the Paschal moon, and the Fish Moon. Additionally, all full moons need not be supermoons and can be fully lit and viewed even from the farthest distance from the earth.
