"Get Ready for the Micromoon: This Weekend's Small but Spectacular Full Moon"

TL;DR Summary
February's full moon, known as the snow moon, will peak on Saturday and appear slightly smaller than usual as a micromoon, due to its farther distance from Earth. This year's lunar events include a total solar eclipse in April and an annular solar eclipse in October, along with multiple meteor showers. Lunar exploration is also seeing renewed international activity, with the recent successful soft-landing of the Odysseus lunar lander near the moon's south pole.
