Snow Moon Over Italy

Snow Moon Over Italy

Full “Snow Moon” shining behind clouds is seen from L’Aquila, Italy, on February 23th, 2024. The name "Snow Moon" comes from ancient Native American traditions. At this time of year, in many parts of North America, snow was still on the ground, giving the moon a particular color and brightness. Our satellite will reach its apogee, the farthest point from Earth in its orbit: it will appear about 7% smaller and 15% less bright than a normal full moon. Full Moon of February 24th, 2024 will be the smallest of the year. (Photo by Lorenzo Di Cola/NurPhoto)
