The Full Moon
Regular-style.

▼ This post has been updated, because you still care about the moons.
Blue moons, strawberry moons, supermoons. For some reason your news aggregation algorithm of choice thinks youreally really reallywant to know all about these moons. “Catch This Weekend’s AMAZING SUPERMOON,” one headline (or, like, 500 of them) will announce. “The Supermoon Isn’t Actually A Big Deal And You’re All Ruining Astronomy,” another will grouse.
The latest example is the super worm moon set to occur on March 20. It's the third and last full  supermoonof 2019, which doesn't necessarily mean it will be a moon particularly worth gazing upon. We get these super-duper-lunar events (remember the super blood wolf moon eclipse?) by smashing together all the qualifiers we've historically used to keep track of full moons throughout the year, and in the age of the internet, we can go a little overboard.
Consider this your go-to resource for all moon-gazing news. Here’s what you need to know about the latest lunar event.
Regular Ol’ Full Moon
Look, it’s okay if you don’t know. There are probably loads of folks who walk around pretending they totally know why that thing in the sky seems to get bigger and smaller at regular intervals whototally do not.
The moon orbits Earth, and it’s tidally locked—that means it always shows us the same face, instead of twirling around like our planet does. That’s why you can always see the man on the moon (or the moon rabbit, depending on your cultural preferences) even as it spins around us. But while the moon is big and bright in the sky when it’s full, that’s only because it’s reflecting light from the sun. But the moon is always moving, so it’s getting hit with sunlight at different angles. It’s invisible to us during the “new moon,” because our satellite is parked right between us and the sun; the so-called dark side of the moon is lit up like a Vegas, but the side we can see is in shadow. A full moon happens when the earth is right between the sun and the moon, so sunlight hits the part we can see. And all the other phases are just the transition from one of those extremes to the other.
