In the northern hemisphere this could be the Snow Moon because the heaviest snows usually fell during this time of the year. Since hunting is difficult, this moon has also been known by some native american tribes as the Hunger Moon.
In the southern hemisphere, this is The Full Red Moon. As the Moon rises in February, it often appears reddish through the scorching haze of summer heat…
This is the date when night and day are most nearly the same length. If you live in the northern hemisphere, happy first day of spring! In the southern hemisphere, the vernal equinox corresponds to the first day of fall.
Canton is the fellow who updates your astronomy calendar (full moons, equinoxes, meteor showers, etc.) from his laptop in Santa Fe, New Mexico. It’s his birthday today!
The astronomy calendar is an effort of love and no reciprocity is needed or expected, but if you’d like to learn more about the calendar or say thank you for his efforts (or even report an error!) then please visit:

In the northern hemisphere, early Native American tribes called this the Worm Moon because this was the time of year when the ground would begin to soften and the earthworms would reappear.
In the southern hemisphere, we might call it The Full Fruit Moon due to the wide variety of fruits harvested throughout Australia and New Zealand in March. Different climates dictate the type of fruit most associated with the regions of these two countries. So this could be easily called the Full Grape Moon, Full Apple Moon, Full Melon Moon and so on. Some folks tried to make this simple and lumped everything into one basket and simply called it the Fruit Moon.
