#FullMoon soon. Last month's full Snow Moon cast quite a shadow behind our spooky old Maple Tree onto the snow.
#ThickTrunkTuesday #SpookyTrees #Winter #SnowMoon

Wednesday is #February's #FullMoon — the #SnowMoon.

It also marks just one final #lunar #cycle before #March's #WormMoon — which is also a #TotalLunarEclipse & it's the #KrononautMoon!

#2025Mar14 is the #night when #TimeTravelers are invited to come visit, or to send us a #quantum #signal. You are invited too, wherever you are.

Please take lots of #photos & share them with @KronoMoonPhotos, noting any #anomalous #phenomena. https://KronoMoon.org

Eyes to the skies: the Snow Moon rises this week!
Folklore tells us that the February full moon is so-called because of the heavy snowfall associated with this month - get the shovels ready.
It peaks on Wednesday, February 12.

February full snow moon rising

February’s luminous full Snow Moon was sublime, though, especially with rather sparse snowfall, I like the Native American name for this moon cycle—First Flower Moon…
as we delight in the first blooms heralding the coming spring…

Here, Corylopsis pauciflora, the delicately fragranced Buttercup Winter Hazel…

Tonight’s full moon is The #SnowMoon

When the snow melts we can see what was hidden underneath its layers.
As spring approaches we move from hibernation mode to being energised and a restlessness for growth.
Look at what was or is hidden within you that may be stopping your growth.
Like the melting snow release and let go so that you are clearer in what you want for the year ahead.

The Snow Moon tonight. Tomorrow night it will be completely full. I looked for the lunar lander but can't spot it #Alaska #Anchorage #BearValley #SnowMoon #FullMoon

Feb Full Moon know as a Snow Moon

#SnowMoon is the traditional name for February's #FullMoon (NA and EU), and will be viewable on 2/24.

It will also be the first #Micromoon of the year.

Please enjoy this "Snowy Moon" until then.

A friend of mine asked me to take a photo of tonight's full moon ("snow moon") with my ultra-telephoto setup (1000mm mirror lens), but the problem wasn't in reach or collimation but in a lot of the atmosphere in the way of getting a sharp shot. So I used my #FullFrame cam instead of a crop sensor one that would've zoomed in on it a bit more...

Anyway, this is the result, edited to update the image with a better processed one (same source RAWs):

I made a trip out to Dun Laoghaire again on Sunday, this time to capture the Snow Moon rise behind the bronze statue of Roger Casement, by Mark Richards FRSS.

At one stage the moon disappeared briefly behind low-lying cloud, and when it re-emerged the sky had turned beautiful shades of pastel pink & blue, just as the sun was setting. It was an amazing sight…I’m glad I was there to witness it.
