  7. The Full Snow Moon is rising right now above us in #Ontario #Canada. Picture taken about 10 minutes ago. Februaryโ€™s Snow Moon is historically suppose to reflect heavy snowfall. They sure got that right given all the snow we have been getting. #Snowmoon #Moon #FullMoon #Nature #Moonrising #sky

  11. Februaryโ€™s Snow Moon a few hours before full, at 98% illumination, slightly fuzzy behind thin clouds. Its many Indigenous American names include the Moon of Big Famine (Choctaw), the Black Bear Moon (Tlingit), the Coyote Moon (Shoshone), the Crow Moon (Shawnee), and the Moon of Purification and Renewal (Hopi). I hope that last name augurs better days to come. January has already felt like a long, dark year.

    See Februaryโ€™s full snow moon light up the sky

    Look to the sky this weekend for a chance to see Februaryโ€™s wintry full moon, which comes as four astronauts prepare to make a historic journey around the silvery orb.

    The full moon will peak at 5:09 p.m. ET Sunday, occurring near sunset and appearing fullest while low in the eastern sky, according to EarthSky.

    However, the moon will still appear full Saturday and Monday, said Noah Petro, chief of NASAโ€™s Planetary, Geology, Geophysics and Geochemistry Laboratory at Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.

    Februaryโ€™s full moon is known as the snow moon, after the heavy snowfalls often experienced across parts of North America this time of year, according to the Farmersโ€™ Almanac.

    Other monikers from indigenous tribes for this monthโ€™s full moon include the sleet moon from the Comanche people, the Creek tribeโ€™s wind moon and the crow moon as named by the Shawnee.

    With the anticipated launch of NASAโ€™s Artemis II mission, which could lift off in February, itโ€™s a great time for sky-gazers to familiarize themselves with the moon, Petro said.

    โ€œGo out and look at it when itโ€™s full, when itโ€™s partially full, and learn its geography,โ€ said Petro, who leads the science team for the Artemis III mission, which aims to land humans near the lunar south pole. โ€œStart learning what features are where and what it looks like as the moon goes through its phases to celebrate the fact that we are in this Artemis era and going back to the moon.โ€

    Itโ€™s possible to see light and dark areas on the lunar surface with the naked eye, but Petro recommends using a telescope, which is helpful for spotting craters and other features.

    Itโ€™s a great way to โ€œabsorb the full breadth of what the moon has to offer to the casual observer,โ€ Petro added.

    Supermoons and full moons

    Sky-gazers can anticipate seeing supermoons in the night sky in November and December. Supermoons occur when the moon is closest to Earth during its orbit, making it appear brighter and fuller than a regular full moon.

    On average, the moon is about 238,900 miles (384,472 kilometers) from Earth. But Decemberโ€™s supermoon will be the closest of the year at 221,667 miles (356,740 kilometers) away, according to EarthSky.

    Here are the rest of the full moons in 2026, according to the Farmersโ€™ Almanac:

    • March 3: Worm moon
    • April 1: Pink moon
    • May 1: Flower moon
    • May 31: Blue moon
    • June 29: Strawberry moon
    • July 29: Buck moon
    • August 28: Sturgeon moon
    • September 26: Harvest moon
    • October 26: Hunterโ€™s moon
    • November 24: Beaver moon
    • December 23: Cold moon

    Lunar eclipses

    For those interested in seeing a different perspective of the moon, a total lunar eclipse will appear in the night sky above Asia, Australia, the Pacific Islands and the Americas on March 3.

    A lunar eclipse can occur only during a full moon when the sun, Earth and moon align and the moon passes into Earthโ€™s shadow. When this phenomenon happens, Earth casts two shadows on the moon. The partial outer shadow is called the penumbra; the full, dark shadow is the umbra.
