Will we be able to see it in Arizona?

PHOENIX – The third and final moon of the year – dubbed the equinox supermoon – is expected to peak on Wednesday night, hours after the start of the spring equinox, and it seems like a "thick" layer Clouds could hinder the valley, according to the National Weather Service in Phoenix.

NWS, asked about weather conditions via Twitter, replied: "The cloud cover is coming out pretty thick tomorrow (Wednesday), so the conditions for viewing the big moon will not be ideal." Bummer!

The moon will culminate at 18:43. Arizona time (9:43 pm EDT) Wednesday, according to NASA and

EarthSky.org.

. We would like to see them!

It is also considered a significant event that the full moon falls on the same day as the spring equinox and a few hours apart. The last time this happened was in March 2000, according to EarthSky. This will not happen again until March 2030. That's why we talk about equinox supermoon. (We also call it "Worm Moon", according to the

Farmer's almanac

.)

This is what is called a "super moon" because the moon will look brighter and bigger in the sky. This happens "when the moon's orbit is near (the earth) at the same time that it is full," he says.

That does not mean that there will be no other full moons this year. According to EarthSky, the next full moons will take place on April 19, May 18 and June 17.
