Wow! That ol’ full moon started beaming down brightly on Feb. 5, so this is a chance for you and your sweetie to spend a little time together gazing at the lovely moon. This full moon is known as the Snow Moon or the Storm Moon because of notorious snow storms that plague February. Mars, Venus, and Jupiter will be visible to the naked eye this month (another chance for you and your Valentine to spend a little more time together). On Feb. 26, you will have a six-hour window to see the Pleiades Star Cluster. About twilight it can be seen to the lower right of the half-moon. Enjoy your sky-gazing!
