If you happened to look up at the sky on Apr. 24 night, you might have noticed the moon looking bigger and brighter somehow.

This was April's full moon — the Pink Moon — which, despite it's name, is not pink.

Full moons typically get their names from Native American tribes, who charted time based on the moon.

This particular supermoon is named after a pink flower, the ground phlox, which blooms in April, one of the earliest spring blooms native to the eastern United States.
