February’s full moon will brightened the skies on Tuesday as the biggest and brightest supermoon of the year.
The super snow moon is the second of three supermoon events in the first three months of the year — a packed lunar calendar for 2019, which marks the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11, the mission that took the first humans to the moon.
Here are a few photos of the moon as captured from around the world.
Tonight’s #Supermoon is the biggest, closest and brightest Full Moon of the year.
Amazing footage by @bostonTVguy of the #SnowMoon over Boston Harbor.
Go outside – look up!
