Full Snow Moon Tonight

 



"When the moon has climbed the heavens,

And the sun has gone to rest,

And the evening shadows gather,

That's the time I love the best."

-James William Whilt

The Full Snow Moon will rise tonight just after sunset (6:30 PM EST)
 and will be the smallest full moon of 2024.

According to Space.com when the moon approaches its farthest point from the earth
it is known as apogee, meaning that tonight's moon will appear up to 10% smaller in
the night sky.   The moon will appear between the hind legs of the constellation
Leo the Lion, and will reach its highest point in the night sky around midnight.

Lovely Luna appeared as a perfectly round spotlight high up in the sky last night,
 however, her visibility was limited as clouds eventually moved in here in
  my neck of the woods. But I am hoping it will clear off tonight! 

🌕Hope the skies are clear where you are at too!🌕
