Special Moon Events in 2024
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
March 25th: Penumbral Lunar Eclipse Visible in London and Great Britain
On March 25th, skywatchers in London and Great Britain will be treated to a penumbral lunar eclipse. This celestial event occurs when the moon passes through the Earth's penumbral shadow, resulting in a subtle darkening of the moon's surface. While not as dramatic as a total or partial lunar eclipse, penumbral lunar eclipses still offer a fascinating glimpse into the dynamics of our solar system.
Worm Moon
March 25th: Worm Moon Appears in the Sky
Also on March 25th, the Worm Moon will grace the night sky. This full moon derives its name from the emerging earthworms that signal the arrival of spring. The Worm Moon is expected to reach its peak at 7am, but may be visible as it takes form on Sunday night.
Pink Moon
April 23rd: Pink Moon Illuminates the Skies
The Pink Moon, the fourth full moon of the year, will occur on Tuesday, April 23rd, at 7:49 pm ET. Despite its name, the Pink Moon does not actually appear pink. Instead, it takes its name from the pink wildflowers that bloom during this time of year. The Pink Moon is a time for reflection and renewal, offering an opportunity to let go of what no longer serves us and embrace new beginnings.
