When to See the Snow Moon
Viewing the snow moon depends on your location, but it should be visible on the evening of February 12, depending on the weather. For optimal night-sky gazing, it’s recommended to get further away from light pollution, which is common in cities. By doing so, it will also be easier to see the few stars that remain with the full moon, such as Regulus.
