Welcome February with the full moon! In fact, on the first day of the month it will shine in the sky Snow Moonwhich we hope will be able to be admired with a clear sky. Let’s mark the calendar February 1st and we don’t miss it!
Because Snow Moon
The February full moon was called Snow Moon by Native Americans since the second month of the year was the snowiest in today’s United States: the ancient tribes gave this name to the moon by actually observing the trees breaking from the coldbut also the people who had to sit shoulder to shoulder around the fire to keep warm. For similar reasons, i Celts they called this moon the Ice moonbut also Bone Moon.
But in reality not all cultures associate the February full moon with extreme cold and death: for the tribe of Hopi it is in fact the Moon of Purification And Moon of Renewalas the ancient Chinese called it Blossoming moon.
How and when to admire the Snow Moon 2026
Our satellite will be in the full phase again on February 1, 2026 at 11.09 pm Italian time, but it will be above the horizon already after sunset, therefore, if the weather is kind, we will be able to admire the Snow Moon all night long (in the map the sky of February 1, 2026 at approximately 11.00 pm).
Don’t miss it!
