A super "pink" moon will rise into the night sky on April 7. It will be the brightest supermoon of 2020. A supermoon occurs when a full moon happens on the same night the moon reaches perigee. Perigee is the closest point to Earth in its orbit. Apogee is its farthest point from Earth in its orbit. In April, the full moon peaks at 10:35 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. Eastern Daylight Time is the time for the East Coast of the United States. When it is 10:00 p.m. on the East Coast it is 7 p.m. on the West Coast. The West Coast is on Pacific Standard Time. This is because different parts of the world are in different time zones.
