No, the 'Super Pink Moon' isn't really pink … though we wish it was

As much as I (an avid lover of all things pink) would love for the "Super Pink Moon," which comes out tonight (April 7) to actually be pink, it won't be.

I was out yesterday evening enjoying views of Venus, M45 using my telescope and with binoculars in a large horse pasture (1930-2100 EDT). The very bright, waxing gibbous Moon behind me to the east. The Moon is not pink Shortly after 2030 EDT, the ISS came by passing near M45 and Venus in Taurus, Orion, on to the SSE where Corvus and Virgo were. I could see the ISS very bright too in binoculars, perhaps near or just brighter than Betelgeuse in Orion. I viewed the Moon as well. Yup, the Moon was not pink

If the moon is really that color because of dust pollen and haze etc as the person claims..then why wouldn't it be that color every night ? it's not like that stuff is only around for one day!

The term "pink" only refers to the pink wildflowers appearing at this time of year.
