What makes this Full Moon special
On March 22, 2027 the Moon is about 373,000 km from Earth, well below the mean distance of 384,400 km, so it is neither a supermoon nor a micromoon.

Observing from London
In London the Moon rises on March 22 at 18:55 GMT and sets the following morning at 06:02; the Sun sets at 18:16 and rises the next morning at 05:58. The Full Moon is therefore above the horizon all night long. Other locations in the UK differ by a few minutes.
