Overview
- The March full moon will appear at twilight across Germany on Tuesday, offering striking views near moonrise on a clear horizon.
- The associated total lunar eclipse occurs before moonrise in Europe and will be observable from western North America and eastern Russia, with livestreams recommended for others.
- The 'Worm Moon' name stems from Indigenous North American seasonal traditions that signal spring’s approach and carries no astronomical significance.
- In early March, Venus passes Saturn closely in the dusk sky as Venus brightens in the west and Saturn recedes toward solar conjunction on March 25.
- Jupiter remains the brightest nighttime planet in Gemini, and on March 29 the Moon is forecast to occult Regulus for parts of Germany, a brief event best tracked with local timings and binoculars.
