April's Full Moon is sometimes known as the Fish Moon or the Sprouting Grass Moon as it arrives in the balmy spring season. It is best known, however, as the Full Pink Moon - a name that is said to originate in Native American traditions. Express.co.uk explains everything you need to know about the Pink Moon, including its unusual name and date of arrival.
When is the April Pink Moon this year?
Full Moons arrive once a month, although on different dates each year.
This happens because the Moon's lunar cycle, from one New Moon to the next, lasts 29.53 days.
Last year's Pink Moon, for example, arrived on the evening of Tuesday, April 7.
This time around, the Pink Moon is expected to peak in the wee morning hours of Tuesday, April 27.
