The "worm moon" makes its way across the earth's sky, announcing the end of winter and the arrival of warmth

For thousands of years, farmers around the world, including Native Americans, have named the months according to natural cues. According to the ancient farmers' almanac, the worm moon refers to earthworms that begin to emerge in March, when the soil begins to warm.

The full moon marks the midway point of the monthly lunar cycle when the moon is fully lit by the sun.

And the moon began to appear as if it was full since Monday evening, March 6, to reach its peak of fullness on March 7, and it continues to appear as complete until the next day, then begins to decline to enter the "declining hump" (crescent) phase of the lunar cycle, which is about 27.32 days.

And the full moon occurs when it is located on the opposite side of the earth like the sun, which means that its face will be fully lit.

According to Sky Live, the moon is currently 251,072 miles (404,062 km) from Earth, and it will be in the constellation of Virgo during its climax or fullness.

The moon will be joined in the night sky by Venus, Jupiter and the red planet (Mars). Venus and Jupiter have just completed their closest approach in a decade, but they are still very close to each other in the night sky. Jupiter will be in the west with brighter Venus above, while Mars will glow red-orange in the southwest.

The full moon of March bears, in addition to the name of the Worm Moon, other names that are all associated with the farmers’ calendar, such as the Raven Moon, the Great Fasting Moon, the Sugar Moon, and others.

After the worm moon, astronomers will be in for a date with the next full moon on April 5, known as the pink moon, after the pink wildflowers that begin to bloom at this time of year in parts of North America. Source: Live Science

Egypt The Astronomical Research Institute comments on the "earthquake signals"

Professor of earthquakes at the Institute of Astronomical and Geological Research in Egypt, Salah Al-Hadidi, said that there are some rumor mongers, who talked about that the first week of March will witness devastation and destruction for Egypt and Lebanon.

Salah Al-Hadidi added, during a telephone conversation on the “Tahrir Hall” program, presented by the media, Azza Mostafa, broadcast on the “Sada Al-Balad” satellite channel, that there are no indications that a devastating earthquake will occur in Egypt during this period, explaining that there are earthquakes that occur at certain rates. It is not felt by the population, and if these tremors increase by a large percentage, this is an indication of a strong earthquake, which has not happened so far.

And the professor of earthquakes at the Institute of Astronomical and Geological Research continued, that the Dutch scientist who claims that a devastating earthquake occurred in Egypt is not a specialist, but rather took the profession from his father only and started practicing it, and there is no strong scientific evidence with him.

Dr. Salah Al-Hadidi, a professor of earthquakes at the Institute of Astronomical and Geological Research, said: "All indicators are currently in their normal state, and things are completely stable."

And he continued, "We are in a war of rumors during the current period, which is completely far from science," explaining: "They said last week that this week will be a week of destruction and destruction, and earthquakes will affect Egypt and Lebanon, and nothing happened."

And Dr. Salah Al-Hadidi, a professor of earthquakes at the Institute of Astronomical and Geological Research, went on: “They expected that March 8 would be the worst in human history,” and they said that on March 8 a devastating earthquake would occur that would affect Egypt, and this is completely unfounded talk.

3,500-year-old brown bear carcass found in Siberia

Specialists from the Russian North-Eastern Federal University, together with their Russian and foreign colleagues, have dissected a brown bear carcass that is more than 3,500 years old.

This rare operation was performed for the first time in the world, knowing that the body discovered in the Republic of Yakutia in northeastern Siberia was in good condition due to its long presence within the eternal ice. The brown bear retained its soft tissues, and this is its distinguishing feature.

According to the researchers, the outward appearance of the brown bear discovered in Yakutia does not differ in terms of shape from contemporary bears. Thanks to the study of the fossil, scientists will be able to restore the picture of the landscape of that time, and find out what the ancient predator was eating. The animal's brain will be sent to Moscow for study. It may be exhibited in the Museum of the Brain Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Source: Planeta
