The first full moon of spring gets its name due to the fact that earthworms will appear in the warm soil to start the spring season. Other names for the Full Worm Moon include the crow moon, sap moon, and sugar moon.

Now is a great time to get outside and do some star and full moon gazing now that the weather is finally warming up.

We can also look forward to 3 supermoons coming our way this spring. The Super Pink Moon will shine on April 26th, the Super Flower Moon will shine on May 26th and June's Super Strawberry Moon will welcome in summer on June 26th.
