Doha, Qatar: As we bid farewell to winter and welcome the arrival of spring, the last full moon of the cold season will be visible in Qatar and around the world from Monday evening, March 25.
Most years, there are 12 full moons — one for each month. In March, the full moon is called Worm Moon.
According to the US Naval Observatory, on March 25, the March moon will achieve its peak illumination at 3 am EDT. On this stellar event, the moon's surface will be fully illuminated which traditionally marks the onset of spring for those in the Northern Hemisphere.
And though the moon reaches a full phase for a brief moment, the bright full moon will continue to illuminate night skies for up to three days, as confirmed by the observatory.
