March's 'Worm Moon' and 'Lentin Moon'
According to NASA, our next full moon will reach its peak in the early morning hours of Friday, March 18th at 3:17 A.M., perhaps a little too early or too late for a hike.
This month's full moon is called 'The Worm Moon'. In Christianity, this moon is considered the Lenten Moon, the last full moon before the spring equinox. April's full moon will be after the spring equinox, which apparently, will determine when Easter happens this year.
