80% Informative

UK stargazers will be treated to a rare pink MICROMOON alongside a blue giant star in the night sky on Saturday evening .

This celestial alignment coincides with the moon reaching its furthest point from Earth .

It will be the first full moon of Spring as it meets Spica , the brightest star in Virgo .

A micromoon is essentially the opposite of a supermoon - a full moon occurs when the moon is closest to Earth .

You won't need any equipment to see the moon and Spica but if you do have binoculars or a telescope tonight will be a great time to get a clear view of the moon.

Unfortunately, the weather for stargazing on Saturday won't be ideal with cloud cover over much of the UK and rain over parts of Northern England and Scotland .
