The final full Moon of winter arrived on March 3, which means springtime is officially around the corner. If you haven’t been counting down until the flowers begin to bloom, the grass turns green, and your sneezing moves into overdrive, it’s just days away. We don’t know about you, but we’re pretty darn excited for a change of season. Spring means more sun, longer days, and new life all around. This year’s Worm Moon was also a Blood Moon, which appeared crimson in the sky. View this post on Instagram A post shared by ABC News (@abcnews) The Blood Moon Appears Because of a Lunar Eclipse “During a total lunar eclipse, the Moon appears dark red or orange. This is because our planet blocks most of the Sun’s light from reaching the Moon, and the light that does reach the lunar surface is filtered through a thick slice of Earth’s atmosphere. It’s as if all of the world’s sunrises and sunsets are projected onto the Moon,” NASA explains. ABC News shared beautiful images from the March 3 Blood Moon on Instagram. “The Worm Moon rises over cities around the world, including New York, Frankfurt, and Buenos Aires, on Monday night,” the caption reads. Fans loved seeing the Moon in all it’s glory. “Stepping in from my balcony, it’s 2:20 a.m. in Santa Cruz, CA,” someone wrote. “I’m steps from Seacliff Beach. Foggy weather, but the universe always provides! We are halfway there!” Insane beauty pic.twitter.com/aG5Da6byif— JACKIE (@KriderJackie) March 3, 2026 Many people posted their Blood Moon photos on social media, and they are positively breathtaking. These changes of scenery are constant reminders that the world is constantly moving around us, and it’s important to slow down and take a look from time to time so we don’t miss it.
