TL;DR Summary

February skygazing will offer limited events for stargazers in the Northern Hemisphere, with visible planets and the Alpha Centaurids meteor shower peaking. The full Snow Moon on Feb. 24 will appear duller and smaller due to its position as a micromoon, while weather conditions, including dense fog, may hinder stargazing opportunities. However, skywatchers can anticipate a lunar eclipse in March and a total solar eclipse in April, with Solar Cycle 25 expected to peak later in the year.
