Pink Moon peaks as a micromoon tonight

February's Snow Moon was captured in its full glory in Lowestoft, Suffolk.

April's full moon, known as the Pink Moon, is set to peak overnight, but may look smaller than your typical full moon.

Peaking at 01:22 am early Saturday morning, the Pink Moon is also a micromoon. Typically, appearing 14% smaller and 30% dimmer than an average supermoon.

The term "micromoon" is used to describe a full moon that occurs near the farthest point in the Moon's orbit around the Earth, known as the apogee.
