Pink moon to rise on the eve of Easter

A pink moon will light the skies just before Easter morning.

On the night before Easter, the sky will look a little more "pink."

The pink moon, the first full moon of the spring season, will rise on Saturday.

Despite the moniker, the moon will still appear to be a bright white color, however it does have an important seasonal influence.

The name comes from a variety of sources including Native American, Colonial American and European cultures, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac.
