(Before It's News)
The April full moon, heralding the coming of spring, is often known as the 'pink moon', named for the moss pink flower which appears at this time of year.
And much of the U.S. enjoyed a clear night on Friday, allowing for a beautiful view of the glowing orb suspended in the sky.
This year, the pink moon coincides with the Easter weekend and the start of Passover, the most sacred times in the Christian and Jewish calendar.
One particularly spectacular view of the moon came over New York, as the natural phenomenon even managed to outshine the city's famous skyscrapers.
Amazing: The full moon glows orange behind the Empire State Building as it dominates the Manhattan skyline on Friday night
