Explanation:
Clouds couldn't hide this bright Full Moon
as it rose last week over the
medieval castle of Tourrette-Levens near Nice,
France.
Exactly full on April 9 at 1456 UT, it followed
the March equinox, making it the first
Full Moon of spring
in the north and autumn in the southern hemisphere.
Known as the Easter Moon, it fixes the date for the
Christian celebration
of Easter
on the first Sunday after the first Full Moon of northern
spring.
Also called
the Grass Moon or Egg Moon in the north,
in the southern hemisphere, following the autumnal equinox,
this Full Moon shines
throughout the night as a Hunter's Moon.
