February began, the second month of the year and for those who love astronomy we have good news, since we are just a few days away from observing the second Full Moon of this 2023, which is also known as the Snow Moon.
The Snow Moon name given to the first full Moon of the month of February was given because it is right at its peak when heavy snowfall has historically been recorded in various countries, including the United States.
The Snow Moon is also known as the Black Bear Moon or the Groundhog Moon.
When will the February 2023 Snow Moon be seen?
As reported by the Time and Date site, the Snow Moon can be seen in its maximum splendor on February 5 at 01:29 p.m. (ET).
This stage of the Moon occurs because the natural satellite of the Earth is at the furthest point from our planet. In February we will be able to enjoy other lunar phases.
It is important to point out that in order to see the Snow Moon in its maximum splendor, it is recommended to be located in a place away from visual pollution and clouds, which could cover its visibility in various regions of the country.
