"Pink" Moon over Palm Harbor Fl. USA

Shot this with my Mavic 2 Pro in Hyperlight. It's called the "Pink Moon" due to a wildflower that blooms pink flowers in April.

Couldn’t get free to fly, but caught the supermoon about an hour after sundown and close to the horizon. Definitely huge! Unfortunately we didn’t get any pink/ red hues in Arizona, just a yellow is caste.

It had a pinkish tint to it early but as it rose it turned more yellow but love when we get a super full moon. ?

April's 'pink moon' is the biggest supermoon of 2020

The first full moon of spring, its name comes from native North American wildflowers that bloom in early springtime: Phlox subulata, known as "moss pink," according to the Old Farmer's Almanac.

April's full moon has also been known as the "sprouting grass moon" or "egg moon," heralding other first signs of spring.
The moon itself won't look pink, but it may appear more golden as it rises above the horizon. That's due to an effect caused by our atmosphere, similar to how the sun can appear more red as it rises and sets, according to NASA.

Thanks. That was an unplanned shot, and so it was just a Sony RX10, handheld. ISO 500, f4, 1/250, raw. It's an impressive camera for an oversized point and shoot. This was full reach:

I just checked the price for the RX10.......no wonder you got such a fantastic shot. That's an expensive camera. I'm amazed at all the detail you captured in the moon's surface. Congrats on such a superb photo!!!!!!!

Thank you RockyMtns! I used the Freewell adjustable lens on the lowest setting which was 1.

I went outside in the early hours this morning for a look, around 3am, and it was up high overhead, and really just a tiny but larger than normal.
It was clear though, and quite bright, perhaps a sign of the clear air from the noticeably reduced movement of people at the moment.

News I read earlier that relates to this . . . there are places in India right now that can see the Himalaya range for the first time in at least 15 years due to the reduced air pollution (125mi / 200km away apparently).

Edit - For you @Vader Zoom 01

Himalayas visible from parts of India for first time in 30 years

Pollution levels across much of India have dropped sharply. Locals from the Jalandhar district in Punjab, 125 miles away, can now see the snow-capped Himalayan mountain range.
