Pink Moon Rising Tonight - Magnificent Full Moon Pairing Up with the King Planet Jupiter

JUPITER AND THE MOON: After the sun goes down tonight, step outside and look east. You'll see Jupiter and the full Moon rising together in the constellation Virgo. Separated by only a few degrees, the brilliant pair will be up all night long--a beautiful sight. http://www.spaceweather.com/

Magnificent Celestial Show: This year the full moon celebrates the change of seasons by pairing up with the dazzling planet Jupiter. April's full moon is known as the Pink Moon, but don't expect it to look particularly pink. It is named after pink flowers called wild ground phlox, which bloom in early spring and become widespread throughout the U.S. and Canada this time of year. On April 10 watch the full moon pairing up with the dazzling planet Jupiter . Over the course of the night the moon will pass near Spica and form a small, bright triangle with Jupiter. Clear Skies!
