In April there are several astronomical events and one of the most striking is the pink moon and the partial solar eclipse that can be seen at the end of the month. When these natural phenomena appear, it is valid to ask ourselves: what lies beyond the beauty of these events? What happens in our lives? , does the appearance of these events have any impact on our daily lives?
First we will focus on the Pink Moon, as it is the event we are currently in. This moon is the same as the full moon and is the fourth so far in 2022.
Regarding the color, it should be noted that it is not a pink moon, that is, when you look at the sky, you will not see a pink moon, but rather you will observe a full moon of the common and characteristic color that is gray-whitish with craters of various sizes. Of course, being in this phase, the moon will look much larger.
IMPACT OF THE PINK MOON
The appearance of this moon has some effects on Earth, according to various astronomers. The tide, the daily rise and fall of sea level is one of the impacts that the Pink Moon would generate.
“Tides are influenced by the gravitational pull of the Moon on the oceans as it orbits the Earth, but also by the gravitational pull of the Sun. They combine during a new moon and a full moon,” said the newspaper La Vanguardia.
Another impact, according to beliefs and legends of the native tribes of North America, is that human beings increase their energies, which ends up favoring and effecting all the changes that are taken. This is because the flowering of Mossy Phlox represents rebirth and renewal.
Therefore, it is said that it is a perfect time to implement the planned goals and objectives, since the energy that emanates, drives harmonious growth. As for feelings, it is likely to feel peace and quiet with everyone who is in our closest environment, such as family, friends and partner, according to the Astro Seek portal.
Finally, there is a great chance of looking at the world in pink, that is, to dream, to be inspired, to see what was always wanted and to look for solutions, which even if they seem “dreamy”, they will guide us to lay the foundations for our goals in the real world.
OTHER ASTRONOMICAL EVENTS
The Geophysical Institute of Peru (IGP) shared the Peruvian space calendar so that all residents know what they will see in the sky in the Peruvian sky during the month of april.
There will be a shower of stars and a solar eclipse coming soon in Peru.
The first is “Las Líridas”, which begin on April 16, but which will only be seen in their fullest splendor during the early morning of April 22, which can be seen from 4:00 a.m. This will be repeated the following day (April 23) and the event will begin one hour after dark and until the rise of the moon.
The partial solar eclipse is another expected event in Peru and several Latin American countries. In the case of Peru, it can only be seen from the south of the country and the places from which it will be seen most clearly will be: Moquegua, Apurimac, Arequipa, Ayacucho, Huancavelica, Ica, Puno and Tacna.
The time of the eclipse will begin at 4:30 p.m. and end at approximately 5:00 p.m. Please note that solar eclipses can be dangerous if viewed directly, so if you want to appreciate this natural wonder is better to use appropriate astronomical glasses.
This partial eclipse is also known as “the small bite of the Moon to the Sun”.
