Patrick, This doesn't mean the worms will be making new lunar craters, but they might be making new worms under the light of the silvery moon!

This just showed up from spaceweather.com.

+++++ WORM MOON: Tonight's full Moon has a special name--the Worm Moon. It signals the coming of northern spring, a thawing of the soil, and the first stirrings of earthworms in long-dormant gardens. Step outside tonight and behold the wakening landscape. "Worm moonlight" is prettier than it sounds. +++++

So does this mean the worms will be making new lunar craters? :)
