When will the "Full Moon" appear and where does its name originate?

Full moons are usually phases that occur approximately once a month. Each full moon rises around sunset and sets around sunrise.

The full moon appears as a perfect circle when the side facing us is fully illuminated by sunlight

In the specific case of February, it will reach peak brightness around 1:30 PM Eastern Time, on Sunday the 5th.

The name "Full Moon", or as it is also called "Snow Moon" originates from the Native American peoples and refers to the large amount of snow that usually falls in the USA this month.

Native Americans also referred to February's full moon as the "Storm Moon" because of the severe weather conditions often experienced during this month.

Alternative names for the February full moon include the famine moon, the bone moon, and the small famine moon, all of which refer to the fact that food was scarce at this time of year.

Early European colonists sometimes referred to the February full moon as the "trapping moon" because February was a good time for trapping animals such as beavers or foxes. /CNA.al
