April's Pink Moon, in the constellation of Virgo the spectacle of our satellite
Everything is ready, therefore, this night, between 23 and 24 April, for the Pink Moon show. The best visibility of the phenomenon will be in the constellation of Virgo, but will our satellite really be pink? In fact the adjective can be deceiving.

The skies of the central-northern part of the country are less fortunate, where the clouds may not guarantee full visibility.
