Skywatchers are always looking for a reason to gaze skyward after the sun sets, and if that sounds like you, tonight will offer you a great opportunity to do so. The first supermoon of 2020 is happening right now, and will be visible on the evening of March 9th — weather permitting, of course.
It’s the Super Worm Moon, but don’t let that silly (pointless) nickname distract you from the fact that this will be a great opportunity to enjoy Earth’s tiny neighbor in all its glory. Tonight, as with all supermoon events, the Moon will appear slightly larger and brighter than it normally does, so if you’ve been searching for a reason to stay up past your bedtime, this is it.
