March 9, 2020




From The Gothamist, a full moon tonight:

The "supermoon" occurs when the full moon's elliptical orbit is closest to the earth (this is also called the "lunar perigee"). March’s full moon is known as the Worm Moon, because according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac, it's a marker that spring is here: "At this time of the year, the ground begins to soften enough for earthworm casts to reappear, inviting robins and other birds to feed—a true sign of spring. Roots start to push their way up through the soil, and the Earth experiences a re-birth as it awakens from its winter slumber." (An alternative name for this moon is the Full Sap Moon, because this is also the time of year "when the sap of sugar maples starts to flow.")
