Happy Crow Moon!

The Sky This Week, 2014 March 11 – 18 — Naval Oceanography Portal

The Moon brightens the overnight hours this week, waxing to her Full phase on the 16th at 1:08 pm Eastern Daylight Time. The Full Moon of March is variously known as the Worm Moon, Crow Moon, Sap Moon, or Lenten Moon. Since it occurs near the point in the sky that marks the autumnal equinox, it is one of the few Full Moons in the year that is visible from the entire surface of the Earth.
