Are you ready to witness the Snow Moon this weekend? Keep your eyes peeled on February 24, 2024, because that’s when this year’s second full moon will appear in the sky.

It’s pretty much the opposite of a supermoon, which occurs when the moon is at its closest point to Earth, making it look particularly large.
