The worm moon is the last full moon of winter, and it is due to be visible in the night sky right at sunset on Friday. How did it get its name?
The Algonquin tribe, which was partially based in New Jersey and southeastern New York until severe displacement by colonists, referred to it as the eagle or goose moon. The Northern Ojibwe, who inhabited parts of Canada and the northern plains, called it the “Crow Comes Back Moon.”
But this moon also has religious references. In Christianity, it is known as the Paschal Full Moon if it occurs after the spring equinox and, by default, it becomes the first moon of spring. But if it comes before the spring equinox, as it does this year, then it is a Lenten Moon. This year the full moon lands on March 18th — before the spring equinox Sunday, when days continue to get longer and warmer as the northern hemisphere begins to tilt toward the sun rather than away from it.
“The moon is the most beautiful thing in the night sky,” Fried said. “It is something that anybody can go out and look [at with the] naked eye and appreciate.”
