The second full moon of the year − appropriately called the snow moon − will reach its peak Wednesday evening.

There will also be two total lunar eclipses that occur during the March and September full moon events. A lunar eclipse, which causes the moon to look dark or dimmed, occurs when Earth is between the sun and moon and the three celestial objects line up in a row so that the moon passes into our planet’s shadow.

It’s a treat that occurs every month and for February, it’s the Full Snow Moon that lights up the night sky. The moon transitions through 8 phases depending on its position between Earth and the Sun.
