Date and Timings of Pink Full Moon
The dates and the timings will vary from country to country because of the longitudinal differences. But on April 7, the moon will be brighter and look even bigger than usual. It will give the best view when it will rise on the eastern horizon.
As told earlier, the timings will vary by the time zone.
According to The Indian Express, this Super Pink Moon will be visible on April 8 at 8:05 am in the morning. Try and find out an unobstructed spot from where you can see the moon clearly.
