Full moon of March to bring a lunar eclipse 2 weeks before solar eclipse of 2024
All eyes will be on the biggest sky event of the year — the total solar eclipse of 2024.
But two weeks before the moon blocks the sun to darken the daytime sky, the full March “worm moon” will be glowing in the night sky and bringing a partial lunar eclipse.
The March moon officially turns full at 3 a.m. on Monday, March 25, so it will look 99% illuminated Sunday night, 100% illuminated Monday night and 99% illuminated Tuesday night during its waning gibbous phase.
