Today Sunday (March 28), sees the appearance of the full Worm Moon which is also known as a supermoon.
The official time it should be at its best is 7:48 pm.
It’s one of two official supermoons that will appear in 2021.
These are slightly closer to Earth than a regular full moon and therefore appear a bit bigger in the night sky.
The second one is next month, April 2021.
Royal Observatory astronomer Emily Drabek-Maunder said: ‘The March full moon is known as the worm moon, named after earthworms that emerge towards the beginning of spring as the ground thaws.’
‘Traditionally, monthly full moons are named from Native American tradition, but many also have Anglo-Saxon and Germanic origins.’
‘From those different origins, the March full moon has also been called the chaste moon, death moon, crust moon and even the sap moon after sap flowing from sugar maple trees.’
