View at EarthSky Community Photos. | We received many photos of the beautiful full Snow Moon – and the moon just before and after full – over the past 2 days. Our friend Greg Redfern in Virginia caught this one last night – the night of February 2, 2026 – with an iPhone! Thank you, Greg. See more stunning images below!
The Snow Moon in 2026 was the full moon that lit up the night sky on February 1, 2026, reaching its peak illumination around 5:09 p.m. EST (around 22:09 UTC) that evening. Because the moon appears full for a couple of nights around that moment, it was visible as a bright, full lunar disk on the nights of February 1 and 2. It’s traditionally called the “Snow Moon” because February is usually one of the snowiest months in the Northern Hemisphere. Here are some gorgeous images from our talented community of photographers. Enjoy them!

Captured shortly before sunrise, the moon’s reflected light softly illuminates the winter landscape following unusually heavy snowfall at elevations around 3,000 feet (915 m). The calm atmosphere and clear sky allowed the moon to appear luminous yet gentle against the Himalayan foothills, with quiet human settlements resting below.” Thank you, Samit!View at EarthSky Community Photos. | Paul C. Peh from Hawaii took this photo of the moon before full, on January 31, 2026. Thank you, Paul!
