Tonight's moon will be full and tomorrow morning, February 19th, around 1am, it will be the closest to Earth for the whole of 2019.

This is February's "Full Snow Supermoon" and, according to the Farmer's Almanac, it will be the largest full moon of the year.

While the last 'Super Blood Wolf Moon' took place less than a month ago, many people may wonder why this super-moon has something special about it.

The month of February "Snow Supermoon" will appear up to 14% larger than a typical full moon and 30% brighter.

On February 19 at 1 am, the moon will reach its nearest point of Earth, called perigee.

Astronomers should keep their cameras ready Monday night, as it will look full until Tuesday when the super moon will reach its peak just before 8:00 am.
