The figures
At 01:06 UTC on Saturday, March 11, 2028 the Moon reaches 20°59' Virgo with the Sun opposite at 20°59' Pisces. The Moon is 358,070 km away at that instant, 26,330 km inside the 384,400 km average, which is what makes this one a supermoon: the disc runs a few per cent wider and brighter than an ordinary full moon. The degree, 20°59' Virgo, places it in the third decan of Virgo, on the axis that runs across to Pisces. It is the 5th of the 25 lunations dated for 2028, 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 2028 it falls on March 11, 2028 at 20°59' Virgo. Those names follow the calendar month rather than the zodiac, which is why the 2028 one lands in Virgo at 20°59' Virgo while other years put it elsewhere.
