On April 12, 2025, the night sky will be illuminated by the delightful Pink Moon, also known as the 'micromoon.' This phenomenon occurs every year during the first full moon of April, marking the beginning of the spring season
N. Sree Raghunandan Kumar, the founder president of the Planetary Society of India (PSI), advises, "While there are some exaggerated reports about the visibility of 6 to 7 planets, this is a great opportunity to observe four planets in just a few minutes in the evening sky. However, there’s no need to rush out and buy telescopes."
