Interpretations of what qualifies as a supermoon can vary; they are often based on the distance between the moon and Earth during a year.<\/p>\n<p>Monday\u2019s supermoon will be the second-closest full moon of the year, EarthSky reports. Though it is called the pink moon, the color does not vary greatly from what we typically see. The name really comes from the pink early springtime blooms of the Phlox subulate plant, native to eastern North America, CBS WBZ CBS Boston reports.<\/p>\n<p>Several religious celebrations align with the moon, NASA reports. For Easter Christians, the pink moon aligns with Easter. In Eastern Christianity, Easter is marked on Sunday, May 2nd.<\/p>\n<p>Supermoons can cause great changes on Earth, which supports some claims that this phenomenon is a sign of the end times. One of the changes a supermoon can bring on is the largest tides of the year. They can also cause tectonic activity from the gravitational pull of Earth\u2019s rocky satellite.<\/p>\n<p>Do you believe tonight\u2019s supermoon is a sign of the end times, a prophetic sign?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When super moons happen, many people wonder if the occurrence is a sign of the end times.
