The world witnessed a beautiful scene in the night sky. Common people saw pink moon. This great cosmic event happens almost every year in April. It is called ‘Pink Moon’.
After sunset on Wednesday (April 24), the pink moon gradually appeared in the eastern sky. Almost all over the country this amazingly beautiful moon has been seen in the cloudless sky.
Today is the first full moon of April. This moon is called pink moon. At this time, the color of the moon can be seen pink in the night sky. Hence this cosmic phenomenon is called pink moon or full moon.
Meanwhile, a powerful telescope was installed on the roof of the administrative building of the Science Museum in Agargaon to see this moon. At this time, the moon appears bigger and brighter than usual, said the visitors.
This particular full moon occurs exactly one month after the lunar eclipse in March. This is an event when the moon comes very close to the earth. That is why the size of the moon looks big and bright at this time.
Astronomers say that when the earth is positioned between the sun and the moon, the full moon is visible. The Moon’s visible color changes are often caused by the energy of the very fine dust particles and various gases in the Earth’s atmosphere.
Apart from this, other smog pollution also hinders the light from reaching the earth. Light arriving at Earth is scattered in many ways according to their respective wavelengths, with blue being the fastest scattered. Red also goes a long way.
But despite the name pink, the color of April’s full moon is not entirely pink. Orange color can also be seen in some places. At some point the moon will turn bright white.
