Full Moon February 2022 – Incredible Snow Moon visible in UK sky THIS WEEK; what time and how to see it

A SNOW Moon will light up the sky this week with stargazers around the world catching a glimpse of the incredible phenomenon.

A Full moon happens when the moon is situated on the opposite side of Earth to the Sun, which means its face can be fully illuminated.

The Snow moon is the second to take place in 2022.

The Moon names come from the Old Farmer’s Almanac.

And that borrows from old Native American and colonial American names passed on through tradition.

The names would represent the time of year, and would help people track the seasons.
