March's Worm Moon Sparks Global Blood Moon Eclipse

March’s full Moon, the Worm Moon, peaks at 11:38am on March 3 and will appear full around that time. For parts of North and South America, East Asia and Australia, the Moon will pass through Earth’s shadow in a total lunar eclipse, turning a blood-red color (the Blood Moon). The UK won’t see the eclipse as the Moon will be below the horizon during the eclipse. The piece also notes that many cultures assign names to full Moons (e.g., Worm Moon, Crust Moon) to reflect seasonal events.

Proba-3’s Eye on the Sun Reveals Inner Corona and Eruptions

ESA’s Proba-3 uses two formation-flying spacecraft and the ASPIICS coronagraph to image the Sun’s inner corona, showing the hot, faint yellow halo and three helium-emission prominence eruptions observed during a five-hour window on Sept. 21, 2025. The animation combines ASPIICS data with NASA’s SDO/AIA imagery to illustrate how artificial eclipses let scientists study the corona’s dynamics, including prominences (cooler plasma) erupting into space and the corona’s light from scattered sunlight and helium emission.
