Full moon over St Albans, Hertfordshire, October 2017
This evening, here in the UK, you’ll see the full moon rising low on the horizon and reaching its peak at 03:12 BST. To find more about when and what you might see in other parts of the world go here, enter your location and then play with the sliders.

As usual the April full moon has a few rather poetic names, of which the most common is probably Pink Moon, referring to the appearance of pink blossoms at this time of year in the northern hemisphere. But names vary around the world, depending on what is happening in that area. So we get Breaking Ice Moon, Sprouting Grass Moon, Fish Moon, Egg Moon and Paschal Moon. Do add in the comments if you know more names.

Yes. I watched it battling with the clouds for a while (a valiant effort) then watched Artemis II instead.

Thanks, Simon. It’s an oldie. Not expecting much visibility of tonight’s full moon as the cloud cover is thorough in its purpose today.
