Attention all stargazers and cosmic enthusiasts! This weekend, the universe has an exciting surprise in store, and you won't want to miss it!

Mark your calendars for Saturday, April 12, because the Full Pink 'micromoon' is set to reach its peak at 8:22 p.m. EDT (0022 GMT April 13). What’s a micromoon, you ask? Unlike a breathtaking supermoon that enchants us later this year, a micromoon occurs when the moon is at its farthest point from Earth, known as apogee. This means it will appear smaller and dimmer, earning it the nickname 'pink' – not for its color, but because it's subtler than its more vibrant counterparts.

But wait, there’s more! This year's micromoon isn’t just a sight to behold; it’s coinciding with an exciting cosmic event. A potential G1 geomagnetic storm may light up the skies overnight from April 11 into April 12, thanks to a coronal mass ejection (CME) barreling toward Earth. If you're in northern regions of the U.S., such as northern Michigan or Maine, you might have a chance to glimpse the mesmerizing northern lights dancing along with the pink micromoon!

So grab your blankets, find a dark spot away from city lights, and get ready for a night of celestial wonder. The stars are aligning, and this weekend could be an unforgettable cosmic spectacle!
