Full 'Pink Moon' Tonight

Full Moon in the Pink: You've heard of a Harvest Moon, even a Beaver Moon. Did you know April's full moon is called a Pink Moon?  Click here to get to Space.com, where you can find out why April's full moon (April 25) is is a Pink Moon, and what the other monthly moons are called, and why:

"The grass pink or wild phlox moon is one of the earliest widespread flowers of the spring. Other names were the Full Sprouting Grass Moon, the Egg Moon and — among coastal tribes — the Full Fish Moon, when the shad come upstream to spawn. The moon will also undergo a very slight partial lunar eclipse, which will be visible from the Eastern Hemisphere, but not from North America. At its peak, less than 1.5 percent of the moon's diameter will be immersed in the Earth’s umbral shadow; a very underwhelming event to say the least."
