The full moon of February is named this way due to the typically heavy snowfall that occurs during the month. It also goes by the names of Bony Moon or Hunger Moon among Native Americans, since food shortages occurred during this time of the cold season.
Sputnik is live from the Iranian capital, where a fabulous full moon, also known as the Snow Moon illuminates the night sky.
Each month's full moon goes by a nickname, and some even have several nicknames, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac. This year, the moon reaches peak illumination at 11:59 a.m. EST (which is 4:59 p.m. GMT).
