"April is the month of the Pink Moon -- named for the pink wildflowers which sprout up each Spring," Google says. The Doodle shows the moon half in shadow -- a nod to current lunar phase.

This year, the half moon occurs on May 20 at 4:56 AM PT. From the northern hemisphere, you'll see the left side glowing, and in the southern hemisphere, the right side shines.

Google users were greeted by a pleasant surprise on April 24, 2025. To commemorate the final half moon of April, the tech giant rolled out an interactive Doodle.

Google celebrates the half moon with an engaging Doodle game, educating users about the lunar cycle through an interactive card-matching experience.

Upcoming pink full moon will look different, but not the way you think. Here's what to expect Stargazers can view the "micromoon," also called the pink moon, this Saturday.
