Here’s How To See The ’Super Worm Equinox Moon,’ The Last Supermoon of 2019

Get ready moon watchers! Tonight, the “super worm moon,” the third and last supermoon of 2019 that will be visible in the night sky. And what makes this moon especially special is that it will coincide with the Spring Equinox that brings in the start of a new season. 

The March 20 spectacle will be the last of this year’s three back-to-back supermoons. As the first one was on January 21 and the second biggest and brightest supermoon of 2019 was on February 19.

A supermoon is a full moon that has reached the closest point to the earth during its elliptical orbit around the planet. And the best time to see one is during the night when they appear larger and brighter. Here’s what you need to know in order to catch March 2019’s “super worm moon.”

First and most importantly, when can people see the super worm moon?

The moon will reach its closest point to earth on Tuesday at 3:47 p.m. ET, but the moon won’t reach peak fullness until 9:43 p.m. ET, which is approximately four hours after the vernal equinox at 5:42 p.m. EST. Moonrise will then happen soon after but will vary depending on location. For cities in the continental U.S., moonrise is expected to occur between 6:30 and 7:30 p.m. local time.

Now, if you want to capture a good photo of the “super worm moon” it’s said to be best to aim for a time near moonrise because the moon will appear larger the closer it is to the horizon, due to an optical illusion. 

What will the “super worm moon” look like?

Although tonight’s moon won’t be as big and bright as last month’s “super snow moon,” it will still be a photogenic spectacle that you won’t want to miss. As in the past, many supermoon watchers have captured intriguing and interesting photos around the world.
