On Tuesday, 3 March, the Worm Moon will reach its fullest phase across the United Kingdom at 11:38 GMT. Although the peak occurs during the daytime, observers will still see the Moon appearing full throughout the nights of both Monday and Tuesday.
The Moon often looks most striking when it is near the horizon at moonrise, which varies depending on location within the UK. For example, in London, moonrise happens at 17:42, while in Edinburgh it occurs at 17:44. Cardiff will experience moonrise at 17:48, and Belfast at 17:50. To view the Worm Moon, skywatchers should look toward the eastern sky during the early evening.
In some regions of the world, the full Moon will coincide with a total lunar eclipse, creating what is known as a Blood Moon. This event takes place when Earth aligns directly between the Sun and the Moon, causing Earth’s shadow to fall on the lunar surface. The Moon turns a reddish hue during this eclipse, giving rise to its nickname.
