March Worm Moon: The super moon will illuminated the night sky for three nights

The Rare Phenomenon

     The Supermoon will light up the dark sky on Monday evening of March 9.  According to NASA the supermoon will appear full for 3 consecutive nights from Monday to Wednesday.

     This is the second supermoon of the year. The Supermoons occur when the moon is within the 90 pedigree, or it's closest to Earth's orbit.  The moon will appear brighter and larger in the dark skies and hopefully no clouds will block the view.

    The March supermoon is also referred as the Worm Moon.  Transitional and native Indian names for every full moon of the year derived on how they helped to track seasons.  In this case, the ground began to soften and the earth worms emerge from the soil that attract birds to feast on them, according to the Farmer's Almanac. For that reason, the March supermoon is very much associated with spring.
