The full Moon names used by The Old Farmer’s Almanac come from a number of places, including Native American, Colonial American, and European sources. This March Moon will look especially large to us when it’s near the horizon because of the “ Moon illusion,” when it looks bigger when near comparative objects than it does when it’s high in the sky without any references. Moonbows only happen when the full Moon is fairly low in the sky, so look for one in the hours after sunset when the sky is dark. A moonbow is just like a solar rainbow, but is created by moonlight (rather than sunlight) when it is refracted through water droplets in the air. If you have just a bit of rain on Thursday, March 17, you may even get to spot a rare phenomenon called a moonbow. See when the Moon will be visible in your area. Of course, you don’t have to wait until the middle of the night! Look for the spectacularly bright Moon as it rises above the horizon on Thursday evening. If your weather is poor on Thursday night, try again! The Moon will also appear full Friday night. Specifically, March’s full Worm Moon reaches peak illumination at 3:20 A.M. The final full moon of the winter season will rise Thursday and Friday night.
