The February full moon this weekend will will appear full from early Saturday morning through early Tuesday morning, according to NASA.

The full moon is considered a micromoon because it appears slightly smaller than normal in our sky due to its distant location in orbit around Earth right now. January’s full moon was also a micromoon. The moon will still be very bright even though it’s 252,171 miles (405,830 kilometers) away.

It is known as the snow moon, according to the Old Farmer’s Almanac, since February is associated with more snowfall in North America.

Most years, there are 12 full moons — one for each month. But in 2023, there will be 13 full moons, with two in August. The second full moon in one month is known as a blue moon.
