    The first of only two super moons of 2021 rises in a super pink full moon tonight (April 26th) and you have the option to watch it online if the bad weather clouds you.
    The pink super moon will be 222,212 miles from Earth, which is not as close as the next full moon, dubbed the "super moon of flowers", which will be the largest and most spectacular super Moon of the year 2021. Nevertheless, the phenomenon that the public will be able to observe at the rising of the Moon on Tuesday April 27 can be qualified as super Moon, because our satellite will be in the 90% of its closest approach to the Earth in a given orbit.

    Supermoons are full moons that appear larger in the sky than usual, although the difference may not be noticeable to the casual observer. During a super moon, the full moon can appear up to 14% larger and 30% brighter than when it is furthest from Earth. This is because it coincides with the arrival of the moon at perigee, the closest point to Earth in its orbit. Obviously, this celestial phenomenon will not make us discover a true pink moon; it will rather take a reddish tint or perhaps an orange color.
    So just for fun, please show me your pink coins; but let's not be difficult. We will also accept your red or orange coins !
