"February 2024: Catch the Full Snow Moon Over Kansas and Iowa This Weekend"
Kansans will witness a special 'Snow Moon' event on the night of Feb. 23, known as a 'micro Moon' due to its occurrence during apogee, the farthest point in the Moon's orbit around Earth, making it appear smaller than usual. The Moon is also known by various names such as Storm, Hunger, Wolf, or Candles Moon, with origins in European traditions and Native American inspiration.
