Welcomed in a clear blue sky and framed by cherry blossoms, its familiar face was captured in this snapshot from Leith, Edinburgh, Scotland. Known to some as a Pink Moon, April&#8217;s full lunar phase occurred with the moon near perigee. That&#8217;s the closest point in its not-quite-circular orbit around planet Earth, making this Pink Moon one of the closest and brightest full moons of the year. If you missed it, don&#8217;t worry. Your next chance to see a full perigee moon will be on May 26. Known to some as a Flower Moon, May&#8217;s full moon will actually be closer to you than April&#8217;s by about 98 miles (158 kilometers), or about 0.04% the distance from the Earth to the Moon at perigee. via NASA <a href=\"https:\/\/apod.nasa.gov\/apod\/ap210430.html\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On April 25 a nearly full moon rose just before sunset.
