The first of only two supermoons of 2021 rises in a Super Pink Full Moon tonight (April 26) and you have a chance to watch it online if bad weather clouds out your view.
Supermoons are full moons that appear bigger in the sky than usual, though the difference may not be noticeable to the casual observer. During a supermoon, the full moon can appear up to 14% larger and 30% brighter than when it is at its farthest from Earth. That's because it coincides with the moon's arrival at perigee, the closest point to Earth in its orbit.

The Moon is going to get its own 4G network, thanks to this rugged lunar rover | ZDNet
This is why, with 4G networks – and the LTE technology that supports them – having already proven their resilience back on Earth, last year NASA turned to leading telecoms provider Nokia with an unusual request: to design a system that will establish a 4G network to be used by future moonwalking astronauts.
The idea of internet-equipped space is not new. Astronauts on the International Space Station (ISS), for example, have been using Wi-Fi since 2008, and can now connect even their spacesuit to the network to stream video from space, communicate with other extraterrestrial vehicles or facilitate docking procedures.
10 Best Moon Journals To Help You Align With The Lunar Cycles
This moon journal is Montúfar's go-to—and for good reason. LLewelyn's Moon Sign Book has been around since 1905 (😮), helping farmers, gardeners, and others inspired by the moon to choose the perfect day to tackle tasks.
Meet the Moon Sign Datebook— the companion book to the Moon Sign Book . It includes a weekly calendar so you can put events from your personal calendar onto the page and make sure they align well with the moon. It will even keep you up-to-date on "void-of-course times," a.k.a. when the moon is in transition between two zodiac signs. Word to the wise: Avoid initiating plans during those time frames.
Full Moon April 2021: How To Harness The Moon In Scorpio
To conceal or reveal? That is the question—and the paradox—of the 2021 Scorpio full moon on April 26, peaking at 11:31 p.m. ET. This esoteric zodiac sign isn't comfortable being exposed by the full moon. But it's going to be hard to keep secrets in the vault come Monday.
As the sign of extremes, Scorpio energy can draw out both our darkest shadows and our most enlightened selves.
This moon could bring some eye-opening awakenings for anyone who's been refusing to deal with a lingering conflict. Because it forms a harsh T-square (three-way tug-of-war) with taskmaster Saturn in Aquarius and disruptive Uranus in Taurus, these situations could hit a boiling point—and fast. If they do, lean into the " fixed sign " energy of these planetary placements.
In the light of the Super Pink Moon, look for the radiant Tycho crater | Space
If you look up at the Super Pink Moon this Monday (April 26), don't expect to see anything rosy — this full moon is named after a flower, the wild ground phlox, which proliferates during April and has a distinctive pinkish coloration. But with binoculars, you may be able to spot a magnificent lunar feature.
While most amateur and professional astronomers detest a full moon because its dazzling light blots out all but the brightest stars, the lunar disk appears flat and one-dimensional, and its topography is hard to distinguish, there is one feature that appears at its best during a full moon: Tycho, a crater named after Tycho Brahe, a 16th-century Danish nobleman, astronomer and writer known for his accurate and comprehensive astronomical observations.
Do We All Have A Built-In Moon Clock?

It's mostly a mixture of folklore and urban legends with dubious scientific merit, but new research suggests that the phases of the Moon do affect our sleep cycles.
The study also used data from a control sample of 464 people in Seattle, Washington in the US collected between 2015 and 2018 as part of a separate study.
China, Russia open moon base project to international partners, early details emerge - SpaceNews
HELSINKI — Russia and China have formally invited countries and international organizations to join the International Lunar Research Station (ILRS) project being developed by the two nations.
China National Space Administration (CNSA) and Russia's Roscosmos said the ILRS project would be open to participation at all stages and levels. This includes planning, design, research, development, implementation and operations.
CNSA and Roscosmos will promote extensive cooperation for the development of human space science and technology and socio-economic progress, said CNSA deputy director Wu Yanhua.
The moon's craters are the muse for Concordia researcher's science-based art | Education |
Public Scholar Bettina Forget uses 3D printing to create replicas of lunar topography and promote women in STEM
For too many women interested in pursuing careers in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), it's still a man's world. Not only that: it's also a man's moon.
Bettina Forget is a Public Scholar and PhD candidate in art education in Concordia's Faculty of Fine Arts. She is studying ways in which the arts and sciences can merge to encourage women to enter STEM fields. This includes astronomy, another discipline heavily dominated by men and whose early pioneers had the privilege of naming discoveries after themselves. As a result, says Forget, far more astronomical bodies bear the names of men than women.
