Pre-dawn lunar eclipse

The lunar eclipse of the full Worm Moon hanging low in the sky above Waltham, photographed before dawn on March 3. The Worm Moon is the last full moon of winter. It signals that earthworms are becoming active as the soil thaws. The Old Farmer’s Almanac notes it is also called the Sugar Moon, Wind Strong Moon, Sore Eyes Moon, Goose Moon and Crow Comes Back Moon. Along the Charles River the paths are a hazardous mix of ice and mud, but signs of spring are emerging.
