There's some good news for astronomy fans! Tonight (9 March) will see this year's second supermoon light up the sky.

This month's full moon is officially known as the 'Worm Moon' and people living in the UK can expect to see it from about 5:35pm onwards.

The worm moon is the name given to the first or only full moon in the month of March.

It's given the name "worm moon" because the end of winter is when little creatures like worms first make an appearance. They can often be found squirming out of the ground and getting eaten by birds!

Supermoons happen when the Moon is closest to the Earth, appearing bigger and brighter than normal - up to 15% brighter and 30% bigger than regular full moons.

If you manage to catch a glimpse of the supermoon tonight, let us know in the comments!
