Celestial Spectacle Over UK Skies!

Stargazers in the UK, prepare for a rare cosmic spectacle this weekend with the arrival of a "pink micromoon". Unlike what its name suggests, it won't appear pink. Instead, it traces its name back to wildflowers native to North America, signaling spring's arrival. This micromoon, the year's smallest, occurs when the moon is furthest from Earth. Pairing with Spica, one of the brightest stars, it'll be a sight to behold. Viewers in parts of the Americas and Africa may see the moon block Spica briefly. So, find a clear spot and enjoy nature's spectacle!
