Worth knowing
Where does the name ‘Worm Moon"?
Worm Moon (English Worm Moon) is a traditional full moon name associated with March. Often associated with the first signs of thaw and the return of life to the soil. This is a culturalname, not an astronomical one - popularised by the American Farmers’ Almanac.
Full moon in March 2022 occurs on 18 March at 08:18 Polish local time (CET), when the disc is illuminated by almost 100%. The Moon rises around dusk and shines almost all night - in spring it stays low above the horizon for a long time. A good time for observing the Moon, but also a night when bright light may make falling asleep harder.
Prepare your sleep for a bright night
- Dim bright bedroom lights an hour before bed.
- Cover your windows to keep outside light out.
- Limit blue light from screens in the evening - evening glasses can help.
- If you cannot darken the room fully, an eye mask can help.
