Photos: The last supermoon of 2019 - The Boston Globe

BOSTON, MA - March 20, 2019: - The moon sets over Dorchester neighborhood of Boston, MA on March 20, 2019. (The third supermoon of 2019 on Wednesday isn’t just special because it’s the last supermoon of the year. It’s also the first supermoon in nearly 20 years to fall near the spring equinox. The “super worm equinox moon,” as it’s known, follows January’s “super blood wolf moon” and February’s “super snow moon.” This supermoon will hit its peak at 9:43 p.m. Wednesday, almost four hours after the spring equinox officially hits. This is the first time the two have landed on the same day since March 2000, according to EarthSky.org. Those hoping to catch the supermoon should be in luck: The National Weather Service is predicting mostly clear skies across New England, with clouds increasing as the night goes on.)77(Craig F.

The third and final supermoon of 2019 set Thursday morning. The “super worm equinox moon,” as it’s known, is the first supermoon in nearly 20 years to fall near the spring equinox. Full moons in March are traditionally called “worm moons” because of rising temperatures, according to the Farmer’s Almanac.

Here’s what the super moon looked like in Boston, across the country, and across the world.
