According to the Old Farmer’s Almanac In 2021, there will be two supermoons. The first one on April 26th and the second one can be viewed in the night sky on May 26th.
It has been estimated by stargazers and astronomers that supermoons are about 7 to 8% larger and around 15% brighter than a run-of-the-mill full Moon.
The Pink Moon goes by many names
Over the years the April full Moon has been referenced by most Native American tribes. Since it happens in the early Spring as the ice melts, it was named, Breaking Ice Moon (Algonquin) and Moon When the Streams Are Again Navigable (Dakota).
Because the plants are getting new growth the Haida Indians called it the Budding Moon of Plants and Shrubs and The Sioux Indians called it the Moon of the Red Grass Appearing.
Other names refer to the reappearance of certain animals, including Moon When the Ducks Come Back (Lakota), Frog Moon (Cree), and Moon When the Geese Lay Eggs (Dakota).
The name Sucker Moon (Ojibwe) memorializes the suckerfish, returning to streams to spawn.
