In March 2028: first quarter on March 4, full moon on March 11, last quarter on March 17, and new moon on March 26. The dates and times follow Universal Time until your browser converts them to your own time zone, so a phase that falls near midnight can land on the day before or after where you live.
The full moon of March is traditionally called the Worm Moon. That night the Moon is 358,061 km from Earth, close enough to be called a supermoon.
For stars, meteors and the Milky Way, the darkest nights run from March 23 to March 29, around the new moon, when the Moon stays out of the evening sky.
