TL;DR

February’s full snow moon will light up the night sky this weekend, peaking around 5:09 p.m. ET Sunday as it appears near sunset and low in the eastern sky; it will still look full on Saturday and Monday. The article notes various indigenous names for the moon and suggests using a telescope to spot craters and features. This comes as NASA prepares Artemis II, a dress rehearsal for a crewed lunar mission that could lift off no earlier than February 1, 2026. It also mentions other 2026 full moons and a total lunar eclipse on March 3 visible from parts of Asia, Australia, the Pacific, and the Americas.
