Sky-gazers observe a micromoon as the celestial object is at or near the farthest point from Earth — also known as apogee — along its orbital path, according to NASA planetary scientist Dr. Noah Petro.

Skywatchers around the world turned their heads — and lenses to the skies to capture the beauty of April’s full Pink Moon — 2025's only micromoon.

The Farmer's Almanac states that the name is derived from the early spring bloom of a North American wildflower called " Phlox subulata ," commonly known moss phlox. "This flower, often called 'moss pink,' was in full bloom around April’s full moon," the Farmer's Almanac said.
