March's Worm Moon Sparks Global Blood Moon Eclipse
TL;DR
March’s full Moon, the Worm Moon, peaks at 11:38am on March 3 and will appear full around that time. For parts of North and South America, East Asia and Australia, the Moon will pass through Earth’s shadow in a total lunar eclipse, turning a blood-red color (the Blood Moon). The UK won’t see the eclipse as the Moon will be below the horizon during the eclipse. The piece also notes that many cultures assign names to full Moons (e.g., Worm Moon, Crust Moon) to reflect seasonal events.
