As March's full Worm Moon rises late Sunday into early Monday, it will travel through the Earth's penumbra — the faint outer part of its shadow — creating a penumbral eclipse.

The moon will darken but not completely disappear as it slips into Earth's outer shadow on Friday (May 5), creating a penumbral lunar eclipse.

This year, the Flower Moon will also coincide with a penumbral lunar eclipse — when the moon moves through the outer part of the Earth's shadow — slightly dimming the moon, according to NASA.

March’s full worm moon will experience an almost perfect alignment with the sun and Earth, causing a penumbral lunar eclipse to grace the sky early Monday.
