"Get Ready for February's Micromoon: What You Need to Know"

February's full moon, known as the snow moon, will peak on Saturday and will be a "micromoon," appearing slightly smaller than usual due to its distance from Earth. The moon will be dimmer than usual, allowing for better visibility of nearby celestial objects. Lunar exploration is experiencing renewed international activity, with the recent successful soft-landing of the Odysseus lunar lander. Additionally, 2024 will feature multiple eclipses and meteor showers, including a total solar eclipse in April and various meteor events throughout the year.
