    March’s full Worm Moon reaches peak illumination at 3:00 A.M. ET on Monday, March 25, 2024.

    This March Moon will look especially large to us when it’s near the horizon because of the “Moon illusion,” which is when it looks bigger when near comparative objects than it does when it’s high in the sky without any references.

    March’s full Moon (March 25, 2024) occurs after the spring equinox (March 19, 2024), making it the Paschal Moon.

    March’s full Moon will be the first full Moon of the spring season.

    In the 1760s, Captain Jonathan Carver visited the Naudowessie (Dakota) and other Native American tribes and wrote that the name Worm Moon refers to a different sort of “worm”—beetle larvae—which begin to emerge from the thawing bark of trees and other winter hideouts at this time.

    The Sugar Moon (Ojibwe) marks the time of year when the sap of sugar maples starts to flow.

    The Wind Strong Moon (Pueblo) refers to the strong, windy days that come at this time of year.

    The Sore Eyes Moon (Dakota, Lakota, Assiniboine) highlights the blinding rays of sunlight that reflect off the melting snow of late winter.

    During the next two weeks, there will be two eclipses on the astronomical docket.

    The main event, of course, will be the Great North American Eclipse on April 8 that will stretch from the Pacific coast of Mexico, on to Texas and across southern and eastern portions of the United States and Atlantic Canada, before coming to an end over the north Atlantic Ocean.

    But two weeks before the total solar eclipse, during the overnight hours of March 24-25, it will be the moon's turn to undergo an eclipse; a prelude to grand event coming our way in early April.

    That final full moon before the total solar eclipse, March's Worm Moon, will quietly slip into Earth's outer shadow, known as the penumbra.

    The continents of North and South America are in the best position to see this lunar eclipse, as it occurs high in their sky while the night of March 24 transitions to March 25.

    The moon will take 4 hours and 40 minutes to glide across the pale outer fringe (penumbra) of Earth's shadow, never reaching the shadow's dark umbra.
