Less than four hours after the onset of the new season, a stunning spring supermoon will be full in the night sky. It’s the first time in two decades a full moon and the start of spring have been so close to each other. This full moon is also called the “worm moon” (or sap moon) in the Northern Hemisphere. Higher-than-normal tides and some coastal flooding also are frequent concerns during a perigee moon. In the Washington region, the full moon rises in the eastern sky at 7:02 p.m. Wednesday, shortly before sunset at 7:19 p.m.
