BOISE, Idaho — Did you catch the ‘Pink’ supermoon Tuesday night?

The biggest supermoon of the year lit up the night sky.

Lots of our viewers are sharing their pictures of the supermoon on social media.

These photos are from our Idaho Weather Watchers Facebook group, which you can join and submit your weather photos.

The Moon was at it closest point to Earth during its orbit, thus making it appear brighter and bigger in the sky.

The April 7th supermoon is one of three supermoons in 2020.              

This supermoon is also known as the ‘Pink’ Moon, however it does not have any hues of pink. Instead, the moon gets its name from pink wildflowers that bloom in the spring around the time of April’s full moon.
