The first full moon of spring rose over Northern Ireland on Monday and Tuesday nights. Known as the Worm Moon, it appeared in multiple locations.

Photographs captured the moon in Dundonald and Comber in County Down. In County Antrim, images showed it rising above hills in Ballycastle, reflecting on the sea in Cushendall, and partially hidden behind hills in Portrush.

Full moons receive names from ancient traditions used to track seasons before modern calendars. The March full moon takes the name Worm Moon because earthworms emerge from soil as spring weather arrives.

A full lunar eclipse occurred but remained invisible in the UK. Some observers noted an orange tint.

The next full moon rises on 1 April as the Pink Moon. The Flower Moon follows on 1 May.
