The last full moon of winter will light up the sky this weekend.
According to Old Farmer’s Almanac, March’s supermoon is called the Super Worm Moon.
The Old Farmer’s Almanac says the moon will appear full from Sunday night, March 8 but will officially peak Monday, March 9 at 1:48 p.m.
According to NASA, the moon got its name from native tribes in the northern and eastern United States.
NASA says the Worm Moon is the most widely-used name, but it’s also known as the Lenten Moon, Crow Moon, Crust Moon, Sap Moon and Sugar Moon.
The space agency says a supermoon occurs when the moon is closest to the Earth in its elliptical orbit, which makes the moon appear brighter and larger than usual.
The Old Farmer’s Almanac says this full moon will be the first of three supermoons in 2020. The other two will occur in April and May.
