The full “Pink” Moon of April will grace our skies Saturday night. This full Moon is a micromoon, set to be the smallest of 2025. Because the Moon’s orbit around Earth isn’t a perfect circle (it’s more like an oval), it is closer/farther from our planet at various points of the year. This weekend, it’s relatively far away. Like any object viewed from a distance, it will appear smaller & dimmer than a “normal” full Moon. Unfortunately, it won’t actually appear pink.

On the morning of Saturday, March 29, a partial solar eclipse will be visible across parts of the Great Lakes, New England & Canada. During a partial solar eclipse, there is no path of totality. There will be no dramatic shadow cast upon a narrow swatch of Earth, so no sudden darkening of the daytime sky. Instead, the Moon will carve out a chunk of the Sun (from our perspective), turning it into sort of a Pac-Man shape. The degree to which will occur will depend on exactly where you’re located.

The last time Rochester hit 77° on March 19th, Teddy Roosevelt was president. The year was 1903 and that record had stood untouched for 122 years. That is, until today. Rochester managed to tie that record, officially kissing 77° at the Airport. This is a one-and-done deal today. A cold front arrives tomorrow, first spreading rain into the region, then cooler air. We’re not getting out of the 40s starting Friday. For the latest news, weather, sports, and streaming video, head to RochesterFirst.
