And because it's the first full moon of the northern spring, it's also traditionally known as the "pink moon."Â .
A quick supermoon refresher: what we call a supermoon is actually the moon at perigee-syzygy, which is a funky rhyme that really just means the moon is near its closest point to us in its slightly elliptical path around Earth.
On April 7, the moon will be at its closest point to us all year, making it appear up to 30% larger than it looks when it is at its furthest point from our planet.
