The full moon that rises on Monday evening will seem bigger and brighter than usual, appearing as the first of only two supermoons in 2021.

April’s full moon is traditionally known as the Pink Moon, as its appearance coincides with the flowering of a type of pink moss called Phlox Subulata in in some regions of the northern hemisphere.


The title of supermoon is granted to full and new moons that pass Earth at the closest point in their orbit, which in April and May will be less than 360,000km (224,000 miles).

“The term ‘supermoon’ was coined by astrologer Richard Nolle in 1979 and refers to either a new or full moon that occurs when the moon is within 90 per cent of perigee, its closest approach to Earth,” Nasa’s Gordon Johnston wrote in a recent blog post.

“These two full moons are virtually tied, with the full moon on 26 May, 2021, slightly closer to the Earth than the full moon [in April], but only by about 157km, or about 0.04 per cent of the distance from Earth to the moon at perigee.”
