WORM MOON: Tonight's full Moon has a special name--the Worm Moon. It signals the coming of northern spring, a thawing of the soil, and the first stirrings of earthworms in long-dormant gardens. Step outside tonight and behold the wakening landscape. "Worm moonlight" is prettier than it sounds.

Tell that to the people living in Canada eh! the worms are still a little stiff!

if my landscape survives today and tonight I will be surprised...more like blizzard moon here in Minnesota

My calendar says the full moon is on the 11th....maybe that's why the calendar was free!

Yeh..Google says the 11th too...

Next month is the full whale shark moon?

It is actually the 11th, but full at 2h 38m GMT (while you are sleeping tonight, so likely the reason for the article stating "tonight")

Isn't 02:38 GMT actually 20:38 the previous evening (ie. tonight) in Belize? Not many people will be abed at that time.

The 2 ppl who commented will likely be Not everybody hangs at Pedro's bar til closing.

In bed at 8Pm...up at 5AM...gonna miss the whole thing!

this morning driving back from my kid's school, i saw a mallard duck just standing at the side of the road. is that kinda like a worm?? a sign of spring i am unfamiliar with?

Nope, he was fooled into thinking it was spring and is hitching his way south again .

Yes I heard that too full in middle of the night - missed it last night was asleep early but will definitly be soaking up some full moon tonight at the Full Moon party at Catamaran.

I saw the moon at around 4am this morning here in England, and weak and cold it looked. Quite eery in fact.

I hear rumour that there will be another full moon party tonight at the Catamaran Bar. Actually it is not a rumour at all. I hear there will be another full moon party tonight at the Catamaran Bar.

So this must mean that there will be a full moon party at the Catamaran Bar tonight, right?

You know what KC. I've heard that somewhere..that fact that there might/will be a full moon party at Catamaran Bar tonight.

We saw the moon come up here about 7:30 last night and it was beautiful here in SW Missouri.

We have a beautiful moon here in Texas this week. It is visable from around 4:00 in the afternoon in the East.

Ms. 2Ag's received a nice telescope last year and we love to look at the moon in the evening. Since we live away from any city no ground light.

Wish I could see it from the beach though.

O.K., so what is this full moon called?

Same as usual - "the moon".

Various names -

Apr. 9, 10:56 a.m. EDT -- Full Pink Moon. The grass pink or wild ground phlox is one of the earliest widespread flowers of the spring. Other names were the Full Sprouting Grass Moon, the Egg Moon, and -- among coastal tribes -- the Full Fish Moon, when the shad came upstream to spawn. This is also the Paschal Full Moon; the first full Moon of the spring season.

And last, but not least, Catamaran Bar Moon

I don't know about KLC either.

I know about klc; however, I am not permitted to discuss the matter at this time.
