March's Full Moon - "Worm Moon" Or "crow Moon"

The term ''Worm Moon'' or ''Crow Moon'' refers to March's full moon. The Old Farmer's Almanac, which began publishing the names for the full moons in the 1930s, states that the full moon in March is referred to as the ''Worm Moon'' because earthworms are thought to appear around this time as the ground thaws from winter. According to NASA, Southern Native American tribes specifically call it this due to the ''earthworm casts that appear as the ground thaws.'' For similar reasons, other tribes named the moon based on different signs of spring. For example, some Northern Native American tribes referred to the March full moon as the ''Crow Moon'' because the cawing of crows signals the end of winter. The ''Worm Moon'' is seen through the gaps in the branches and leaves of the trees in a forest at Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on 24/03/2024. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)

    Pink Moon 2024

    The ''Pink Moon'' or supermoon illuminates the night sky. However, the name does not imply that the moon will appear pink. The full moon of April is named after the herb moss pink, also known as creeping phlox or moss phlox--a plant native to the eastern United States and symbolic of one of the earliest widespread flowers of spring. According to NASA, the Maine Farmers' Almanac, an annual American periodical, commonly refers to the full moon in April as the ''Pink Moon'' due to its association with the pink wildflowers that bloom in early spring. This April moon is also known as the Fish Moon by coastal cultures, the Egg Moon, and the Sprouting Grass Moon. Additionally, it is called the Passover Moon or Pesach. It will occur on Tuesday evening around 7:49 PM Eastern Daylight Time in the eastern United States.
