Description
Usually the heaviest snows fall in February. Hunting becomes very difficult, and hence to some tribes this was known as the Full Hunger Moon. The February Snow Moon will arrive at perigee, the closest point to Earth in its lunar orbit, less than 7 hours earlier at 4 a.m. EST at a distance of 221,681 miles from Earth. So this is the largest full moon of 2019. A full moon that takes place during perigee is sometimes known as a Supermoon. Very high ocean tides can be expected during the next two or three days, thanks to the coincidence of perigee with the full moon.
Some digital effects were applied to this original image after the photograph was made. No electrons were harmed during the transition. Ordered images will not contain the FAA watermark.
