Full Moon for Each Month
March 2025
The March full Moon brings a total lunar eclipse visible across the United States. This is the only visible lunar eclipse of the year. It begins late on Thursday, March 13, or in the wee hours of Friday, March 14, then continues into the morning. See more information about the March Full Moon.
The Full Moon and Lunar Eclipses
Did you know that lunar eclipses are tied to the Full Moon phase? During a lunar eclipse, the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, blocking the Sun’s rays. The Moon will be 100% obscured during this eclipse. You'll see the Moon turn from a bright white to an orange-red. Read more about the "Blood Moon."
How Best to See a Full Moon
While the full Moon has a specific time when it's 100% illuminated, the Moon will appear full the night before and the night after! So, if the weather is poor one day, you have a chance to look again and another night to stroll beneath the light of the Moon.
Remember that Full Moons rise at sunset and set at sunrise! In fact, many times, the exact time of the full Moon may not be near the time the Moon rises where you live. Don't worry. Regular stargazers won't be able to tell exactly when the Moon is full.
What is Happening During a Full Moon?
The Moon orbits around Earth about every 29.5 days; one orbit is called the lunar month. About halfway through the orbit or lunar month (Day 15), the Moon is the opposite side of the Earth to the Sun. Now, the Moon is 100% illuminated by the Sun! It's completely lit up.
Of course, we can see only the side of the Moon from Earth. The other side of the Moon is dark. Technically, you could call this the "half Moon." Then, when the Moon continues its orbit, we call the next phase a Quarter Moon! (Read why it's called the Quarter Moon, not the Half Moon.)
