PORT ANGELES — Dozens of cars and families went to Ediz Hook on Tuesday, April 7, 2020, to view the Supermoon, which was only 210,000 miles from earth.
The night’s “pink moon” was about 0.1 percent closer to Earth than the March full moon was, making it the most super of the supermoons for 2020, NASA reported. It appeared to be about 7 percent larger than the average full moon.
This moon has one other claim to fame, according to livescience.com: It’s known as the “Paschal Moon” and helps set the date for Easter. The first Sunday after the Paschal Moon is Easter, which is why Easter falls on April 12 this year.
