Set your alarms early on next Sunday! A fascinating celestial event is coming to Dubai on April 13, 2025. Known as the ‘pink moon,’ this full moon will be visible in the early morning, with moonrise at 5:56 AM.
Despite its name, the pink moon won’t actually turn pink. The name comes from the pink flowers that bloom in April, marking the arrival of spring.
This year’s pink moon is also a ‘micromoon,’ meaning it will be at its farthest point from Earth. Because of this distance, it will appear slightly smaller and dimmer than a typical full moon. While it may not be as bright as a supermoon, it’s still a sight worth waking up for.
For the best view, look towards the western sky before the moon sets. Make sure you have a clear, unobstructed view of the horizon, as buildings and trees could block your sight. Finding a high vantage point or an open area will improve visibility.
Whether you use a telescope, binoculars, or just your own eyes, watching the moon in its full glory is always a magical experience. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to witness a unique lunar event in Dubai’s sky!
