The figures
At 07:00 UTC on Monday, March 25, 2024 the Moon reaches 5°07' Libra with the Sun opposite at 5°07' Aries. It is 405,395 km away, 20,995 km beyond the 384,400 km average, which puts it at the micromoon end of the range with a correspondingly small disc. The degree, 5°07' Libra, places it in the first decan of Libra, on the axis that runs across to Aries. This one is also a penumbral lunar eclipse, so the Moon is within range of a node at 5°07' Libra rather than merely opposite the Sun. It is the 6th of the 25 lunations dated for 2024, and the cycle it belongs to is set out in what a lunation is.

Why it is called the Worm Moon
The Worm Moon is the traditional North American and European name for the full Moon of March, and in 2024 it falls on March 25, 2024 at 5°07' Libra. Those names follow the calendar month rather than the zodiac, which is why the 2024 one lands in Libra at 5°07' Libra while other years put it elsewhere.
