The full moon phase or also called the solar opposition phase of the moon is a configuration when the moon is facing away from the sun and in line with the earth and sun.
Reported lapan.go.id, given the Moon’s orbit which forms an angle of 5.1 degrees to the ecliptic, the Moon does not always enter the Earth’s shadow during the Full Moon phase, so every full Moon phase does not always coincide with a lunar eclipse.
The full moon phase in March 2021 will occur on March 29 at 01.47.54 WIB / 02.47.54 WIT with a distance of 362,173 km from Earth (geocentric) and is located in the constellation Virgo.
