There will also be two total lunar eclipses that occur during the March and September full moon events. A lunar eclipse, which causes the moon to look dark or dimmed, occurs when Earth is between the sun and moon and the three celestial objects line up in a row so that the moon passes into our planet’s shadow.

The second full moon of the year − appropriately called the snow moon − will reach its peak Wednesday evening.

Louisville could see the return of snowfall before Wednesday's aptly named full "Snow Moon" arrives in the skies above Kentucky. The National Weather Service in Louisville issued both a winter storm watch and a flood watch for parts of south central Kentucky through Tuesday night with 1-2 inches of snow possible Monday evening through Tuesday.
