This full moon is known as the Flower Moon or Corn Planting Moon by Native Americans and signifies the beginning of spring and a general good time to plant or begin new things.

Native Americans had names for each of the full moons as a way to tell time before calendars. The moons were often named after the type of weather or what was to be planted or the type of animal that was in season.
This supermoon, in particular, is projected to be the brightest of the year as it will be closest to the Earth in its orbit this year.
