Worm Moon will be visible in the UK tonight

The Worm Moon will be visible in the UK tonight (Tuesday, March 7), and budding astronomers are aware of the spots they need to visit to catch a glimpse of this highly anticipated moon. The Worm Moon, also known as the ‘Lantern Moon’, which means Spring Moon, is the name given to the March Full Moon.

Each month on average, has one full moon, and it marks the occasion whereby the moon appears fully illuminated from Earth’s perspective and occurs when Earth is located between the Sun and the Moon.

Being the final full moon of the winter in the northern hemisphere, the name ‘Worm Moon’ originates from American First Nations people who gave it this name due to worms appearing in the soil as the temperature gradually rises.

The full Worm Moon will reach peak illumination at 12:40 pm, and Parkdean Resorts has released the best spots to see this spectacle for tonight.

Parkdean Resorts has analysed UK beaches to find the best spots to see the Worm Moon this Tuesday. Hengistbury Head Beach is the best beach for stargazing with 1,718 “excellent“ reviews, with its sky measuring at a four on the Bortle Scale.

Brighton Beach in East Sussex is the second-best UK beach for stargazing, with 2,012 “excellent” reviews. Weymouth Beach in Dorset is the third-best UK beach for stargazing, with 4,261 “excellent” reviews. Bournemouth Beach is the fourth-best beach for stargazing, and Crantock Beach in Cornwall, which has a ranking of four on the Bortle Scale, is perfect for stargazing.

Parkdean Resorts’ top tips for stargazing include getting up high, the further you are away from light pollution, the better chance you’ll have of seeing the stars. Research what you’re looking at by downloading Star Chart free on AR-enabled Apple or Android devices.

Star Chart allows you to point the camera at the sky and will tell you exactly what is up there. Also, use the Time and Date website for the best chance of spotting the planets. Time and Date allows you to input your location, before generating information about when the planets are most visible. With lots of helpful information about what’s in the universe, this is a great way to educate the family about the wonders of space.
