The full moon of February, called the Snow Moon, will occur in the eastern U.S. during the wee hours of Sunday, Feb. 9, about a day before reaching perigee, the closest point to Earth in its orbit — creating a full moon that appears slightly larger than average.

The decade's first supermoon called the super snow moon is shining this weekend.
February's full moon is also a supermoon meaning the moon is both full and at it's closest point to the Earth in it's orbit, this closest point is called it's "perigee" which makes the moon look larger.
