March’s moon won’t officially reach its zenith until Monday, March 9, but it will start to have that full-moon look when it rises in the sky Sunday night. This full-moon effect will stretch through Tuesday night.

The first full moon of meteorological spring is known as the Full Worm Moon. And as a bonus for sky-watchers, it will be a supermoon, too, coming amid a season of winter/spring supermoons in 2020.

note:
 supermoon is a full moon or a new moon that nearly coincides with perigee—the closest that the Moon comes to the Earth in its elliptic orbit—resulting in a slightly larger-than-usual apparent size of the lunar disk as viewed from Earth. The technical name is a perigee syzygy (of the Earth–Moon–Sun system) or a full (or new) Moon around perigee. The term supermoon is astrological in origin and has no precise astronomical definition.

Thanks for the info. I will be sure to look out for the supermoon tonight!

I want to add:

This full Moon will also be the first of three supermoons in 2020—the other two occurring in April and May.

Thanks so much for this information, calendria! Now I know to look out at the moon tonight! I remember the first time I noticed such a moon when I was a child. I saw the huge orange moon in the distance as we were driving home from somewhere. I thought that it looked mighty and magical, going on and on to my mom about it, LOL!

I have seen it before.
