Full Worm Moon: Date, time of March Full Moon. Details here

The Moon will be at its full phase on March 7, 2023, at 12:40 GMT (7:40 a.m. EST). In the sky, the Full Moon will reach its maximum position around midnight local time. The Moon seems larger than normal and becomes orange at this time, therefore our recommendation is to begin observations right after the Moon has fully risen over the horizon.

Worm Moon: What is it?

The characteristics of the lunar months in which they occur are reflected in the titles of the full moons. For instance, the March full moon is known as the "worm moon" in America and Europe because earthworms begin to emerge in the soil during this month when the soil finally begins to warm up following the chilly winter months. Also, worms draw robins and other birds, which are unquestionably a sign of spring! The March equinox, which occurs two weeks after the March Full Moon, is another "spring sign" that you'll see. It is the first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere according to astronomy.
