The full moon in February will be a bright, super moon, peaking at dawn on February 9.

According to NASA, in early February, the Moon will have a half circle. By Saturday night (February 8), the moon will appear fully and clearly at 8:42 pm (international time).The full moon in February will be a bright, super moon, peaking at dawn on February 9.

The supermoon occurs when the Moon's elliptical orbit reaches its closest point to the Earth. " Supermoon" is a phrase coined in 1979 by NASA scientists. When the full moon appears at the closest point to the Earth, it is brighter and bigger than the full moon, which is when the observer observes the supermoon most clearly.

Also in February, planets like Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn will appear brighter than usual, twice when the sun goes down and three times before the sun rises. Venus and Mercury will be brightest in the West after sunset. Mars, Jupiter and Saturn will be brightest in the East before dawn.
