Your pics: The Snow Moon

It’s big, and it’s very beautiful.

LOOK UP. SEE that big, round, beautifully bright moon?

It’s called a Snow Moon, and it occurs every February. Did you know the full moon of each month has its own name? Here’s a list.

Space.com has a live webcast of the Snow Moon, where you can listen to experts chatting about all sorts of things you never knew about the fifth largest satellite in the Solar System.

We asked our readers to send in their photos. Taken by phone, from the car, or with a professional camera, no matter what their quality they all show how bright and intense the snow moon is.
