TL;DR Summary

The "Snow Moon," the year's second full moon and the smallest-looking, was captured by photographers worldwide next to famous landmarks. Also known as the Hungry Moon, Storm Moon, and Wolf Moon, its arrival signaled the end of the Spring Festival and the start of the Lantern Festival. The "Snow Moon" was the year's smallest full moon due to its elliptical orbit, and it marked the beginning of an "eclipse season" leading up to the "Worm Moon" on Mar. 25, which will feature a penumbral lunar eclipse visible in North and South America, Europe, East Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. Additionally, a total solar eclipse will occur on Apr. 8, visible across parts of northwest Mexico, 15 U.S. states, and six Canadian provinces.
