Full moon 2025: When April’s ‘Pink Moon’ will hit the sky

Wondering when to catch the next full moon? 

Here’s what the sky has in store for the month of April: 

When is April’s full moon? 

April’s full moon will appear the night of Sunday, April 13. It will peak at 8:22 p.m. ET. 

Micromoon

You’ve probably heard of a supermoon - and this month, we’ll be witnessing the opposite. 

A micromoon appears when the Moon reaches its furthest point from Earth, making it appear slightly smaller. 

The next supermoon, or when the moon will naturally appear larger, won’t be until early October, NASA says

The first full moon of astronomical spring is traditionally known as the Pink Moon. 

Despite its colorful nickname, don't expect a rosy hue. The Pink Moon gets its name from the pink phlox and other spring flowers that begin to bloom in April.

July's full moon is just around the corner, and this full moon is unique for 2025.

That's because this full moon comes less than one week after Earth reached what is known as aphelion, or the part of its orbit where it is farthest from the sun. That means this full moon will mark the farthest from the sun in 2025, according to Space.com.

So when will you be able to see it?

When is the July full moon?

The full moon will rise at 3:37 p.m. CT on July 10, according to Time and Date, but that's not the time you'll want to look for it. Viewers will actually want to look towards the southeast after sunset to watch it rise.

Shortly after moonrise will be the best time for viewing, Space.com reported, as the moon will appear larger than it actually is due to the "Moon Illusion," a phenomenon that occurs when the moon is close to the horizon.

What is the name of the July full moon?

The July full moon actually has multiple names.

The "Buck Moon," because July is typically the time when a male deer's antlers grow in North America, and the "Thunder Moon," referencing July's notorious summer storms in parts of the U.S.

According to the Old Farmer's Almanac, the moon has a numb

What is the September full moon called?

September's moon is known as The Harvest Moon
