what is a worm moon? when in india
Seems like March is full of astronomical wonders as there will be two full moons this month. Earth witnessed a Full Wolf Moon and Full Snow Moon in January and February. Observers will witness two full moons on March 1 and March 31, respectively.
Native american’s named March’s full moon as worm moon..
Why is it named Full Worm Moon?
If you wonder why the March full moon has this bizarre name, it is because the full moon happens when temperature arises and earthworms emerge on the topsoil. Which i why it got the name Full Worm Moon.
Two full moons in a month is called blue moon. In some regions, people call it Full Sap Moon as it marks the time “when maple sap begins to flow and the annual tapping of maple tress begins.”
It will also be the second Super Blue Moon of the year. January 2018 had the first blue moon.
The Blue Moon of March or Sap Moon has another significance as it helps to fix the date of Easter — April 1 — the Sunday after the first full moon following the spring equinox.
