Today:
This evening, almost exactly as the Sun sets, the Full “Pink” Moon rises in the east. The Moon is perfectly Full a few hours later, at 10:12 PM EDT. This Full Moon is known as the “Pink” Moon after the wild pink ground phlox, native to areas farther south than here. Later this evening, as the Moon climbs higher into the east, the star Spica trails to the lower left, preparing to be the Moon’s companion tomorrow night.
