‘Pink Moon’ lights up the night sky across the UK – what does the stunning spring display mean for you?
APRIL's 'Pink Moon' lit up the night sky across the UK last night in an extraordinary display enjoyed by millions.
But if you missed the spectacular full moon display, it will still be visible until the early hours of Monday.
The full moon is the biggest and brightest of 2022 so far, and although it did appear to have a pinkish hue for many, its name is a traditional one and actually has nothing to do with its colour.
According to the , which provides long-range weather forecasts, the Pink Moon marks the start of major seasonal changes.
And there is a fascinating reason for its name.
It explained: "April’s full moon often corresponded with the early springtime blooms of a certain wildflower native to eastern North America: Phlox subulata — commonly called creeping phlox or moss phlox — which also went by the name 'moss pink."

According to spiritual advisor Meghan Rose, the Pink Moon will have a profound effect on all star signs over the weekend.
She said: "[The April Pink Moon] actually marks the beginning of the Taurus-Scorpio eclipse that's taking place over the next year and a half.
"So this is actually going to be really powerful."
Rose even claims our emotions will be impacted in an "amplified way" as the Pink Moon lingers.
The mystic also said people can even expect a renewed sense of sense after a bit of chaos over the last few months.

She claimed: "The moon from an astrological standpoint rules over our emotions and our inner world.
"The amplification of it being an eclipse is going to halt any manifestation and ritualised manifestation specifically because the energy is so chaotic."
