What Makes the March Full Moon Special?
The March full moon, known as the “Worm Moon,” gets its name from nature’s cues as spring approaches. Here’s what you should know:
- Named for earthworm casts appearing as the ground thaws.
- Historically significant to Native American tribes for tracking seasons.
- Other names include the crow, crust, sap, and sugar moon.
- Signifies the return of life as winter fades away.
Understanding the Blood Moon Phenomenon
So, what exactly is a Blood Moon? During a total lunar eclipse, the moon passes into Earth’s shadow, causing it to appear red. This striking effect occurs because sunlight filters through Earth’s atmosphere, scattering blue light and allowing red light to reach the moon. It’s a natural spectacle that you won’t want to miss!
When to Catch the Next Full Moon After the Blood Moon
Following the Worm Moon, the next full moon will be the Pink Moon, peaking on April 12, 2025. Named after the early spring flower, this moon symbolizes the blooming season ahead. Keep an eye out for both these celestial events!
