The moon will not actually appear pink in spite of its name. However, the title comes from the seasonal bloom of pink wildflowers known as phlox, which blossom in early spring.

In Karachi, the Pink Moon is expected to rise at around 9:08 p.m. UTC and will remain visible throughout the night. It will rise in the east around sunset and set in the west by sunrise.

For the most spectacular view, catch the moon just after sunset. This is when it often appears larger and brighter due to a visual trick called the moon illusion, which makes it seem bigger when it is near the horizon.

This year will feature a total of 12 full moons, including three supermoons and two total lunar eclipses. One of the eclipses will be visible in Karachi between September 7 and 8.
