"Upcoming Worm Moon: When and Where to See It"

This weekend's "Micro Death Moon" eclipse will occur as March's full moon moves into Earth's shadow, leading to a dramatic total solar eclipse visible in parts of Mexico, the U.S., and Canada on Monday, April 8. The term "Micro Death Moon" refers to the moon being at its farthest point from Earth (apogee) during the full moon phase, and the full moon in March is also known as the "Death Moon" in Old English. The lunar eclipse will be visible from North and South America, Europe, East Asia, Australia, and New Zealand, and there will be three "supermoons" in a row later this year.
