RARE PHOTOS: Auroras could spice up april s full pink micromoon this weekend | Vintage Vibes

Green northern lights shimmer over a body of water with the bright moon above.

Aurora chasers and night sky enthusiasts get ready – the stars could align for you to have quite the cosmic show this weekend!

We already told you that this month’s Full Pink ‘micromoon’ is scheduled to rise on Saturday (April 12), getting to its fullest point at 8:22 p.m. EDT (0022 GMT April 13). If you’re not familiar, unlike the powerful and larger-than-life supermoon that we will get to experience later this year, a micromoon is actually the opposite. This is when the moon will be located the farthest away from Earth (a point referred to as apogee), and as a result, it’s the tiniest and dimmest full moon of 2025 (nicknamed pink not because of the hue, but because it’s more faint than the others!)
