The March Full Moon is known as the Worm or Maple Sugar Moon. It is a sure sign of Spring up north as the ground thaws and the earthworms begin to show up for another season. Moonrise for South Florida is at 7:16PM. This is a great time to head to the beach and look East over the ocean. The Moon will take on hints of orange and reds as it rises above the horizon. This is caused by dust, pollution and the light travelling through more atmosphere. It will also look larger because of the refractive properties of the atmosphere. Also check out the planet Saturn just to the upper left of the Moon.
