Tonight, we will able to enjoy the rare sight of a Pink Supermoon. While that already sounds like enough to get us to watch, just what exactly is it?

It is a phenomenon as it rarely exists: today, April 7th, a pink &quot;Super Moon&quot; will be visible to the naked eye in the sky. An event that occurs when the full moon coincides with the perigee, or&nbsp;is at a minimum distance from Earth. Tonight into tomorrow, the pink moon will be a mere&nbsp;357,000 km from the earth. Under these conditions, the star can appear 7 to 14% larger than usual and up to 30% brighter. Hence the term &quot;Super Moon&quot; which technically,&nbsp;has no scientific value.

Tonight, the full moon of&nbsp;April, the first after the spring equinox, is traditionally called &quot;pink&quot; in reference to the appearance of spring flowers of cherry trees or phlox stolonifera, with a pinkish tint. However, contrary to what its nickname suggests, the full pink moon does not appear pink but rather sports a very orange or even reddish color.

Get your quarantine snacks ready and take a break from your <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/the-best-movies-and-tv-shows-to-stream-in-april-2020" target="_blank">favorite tv</a>&nbsp;indulgence from the comfort of your personal isolation nook&nbsp;to behold this special sight tonight. We have a feeling it will be a breath of fresh air we could all use.
