The Full Moon Rises Over Colombo

The full moon is rising over Colombo, Sri Lanka, on March 25, 2024. According to The Old Farmers' Almanac, which started publishing the names for the full moons in the 1930s, some people refer to the March full moon as the ''worm moon'' because it is believed that earthworms begin to emerge around this time as the ground thaws from winter.
