Don't miss the magical Snow Moon rising over southern Ontario this weekend, coinciding with the Lantern Festival. Learn more about this unique celestial event!

Get ready for a celestial treat this weekend as the smallest full moon of 2024 shines over southern Ontario. Known as the Snow Moon, it will be the farthest from Earth this year, appearing smaller in the sky. This phenomenon aligns perfectly with the Lantern Festival traditionally celebrated on the 15th day of the first month of the Chinese lunisolar calendar. As the full moon in Virgo rises on February 24 at 7:30 a.m. EST, it marks the end of winter, encouraging self-care and putting yourself first.

As February's Snow Moon reaches its peak illumination at 7:30 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 24, sky gazers will witness the magic of this lunar event. Despite being a 'micromoon,' appearing 14% smaller and 30% dimmer than a supermoon, it's an exciting sight for astronomy enthusiasts. Observers fascinated by the cosmic world can anticipate the Snow Moon's beauty as it graces the night sky.

Intriguingly, Canadian Space Agency astronaut Jeremy Hansen is set to make history as the first Canadian to orbit the moon as part of the Artemis II Crew. This remarkable feat adds an extra layer of excitement to the celestial events unfolding in February. From the Snow Moon's ethereal glow to the upcoming lunar orbit mission, this month is a time of cosmic wonder and exploration.

In a fascinating astronomical coincidence, February's full moon not only represents the Snow Moon but also aligns with the Lantern Festival, offering a blend of cultural and celestial celebrations. This convergence of events highlights the interconnectedness of our world, bridging traditions and astronomical marvels in a harmonious dance of nature.
