Pink Moon Visible This Weekend, Check Local Weather

The Pink Moon will be visible this weekend, but the weather may impact viewing conditions. The moon is expected to rise on the eastern horizon at 6:59 p.m. Phoenix time on Saturday, and if clear skies prevail, it could provide a great view of this special lunar event.

This month’s full moon gets its name from the blooming colors of spring in the Northern Hemisphere. It will also be a micromoon, where the moon appears smaller due to its distance from Earth. This is one of three micromoons expected this year and marks the longest distance between the Earth and a full moon for 2023.

For optimal viewing, check the weather forecast before heading out. A low-pressure system will move through the area on Saturday night, potentially bringing clouds. If conditions are less than ideal, Sunday evening might offer better views of the Pink Moon as it is still relatively close to being full.
