Pink Moon Rises Globally, Named After Spring Flowers

Despite common misconceptions, the annual Pink Moon does not appear pink but is named after the phlox flowers that bloom in spring.

The Pink Moon, an annual full moon event, occurred globally from April 23 to 25, 2024.
Named after the blooming phlox flowers, the Pink Moon is often misconstrued as being pink in color due to its name.
In various locations, including Singapore and the U.S., the moon was observed and celebrated despite occasional cloudy skies.
Scientific sources clarify that the moon's color changes are due to atmospheric conditions, not its inherent color.
Cultural and religious significance varies, with the Pink Moon marking important dates in multiple calendars.
