The snow moon will arrive Feb. 12, 2025, according to NASA. The full moon in February was dubbed the snow moon due to the heavy snowfall typically seen this time of year, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac, which first began publishing names for full moons in the 1930s.

February has been a big month for astronomical events. There was a six planetary alignment, or “planet parade,” to kick off the month and five planets that will be visible with a set of binoculars or a small telescope throughout the rest of the month.

February's full moon will shine in the skies above Indiana shortly before Valentine's Day. Coincidentally, according to NASA, this is the month when Venus — named after the Roman goddess of love — shines her brightest.
