The full moon will be visible around the world, but poor weather may block the view for some. Moon gazers can watch a live stream of the full moon in Rome from The Virtual Telescope Project.
Native American tribes in the northeastern United States call February’s full moon the “Snow Moon” because of the heavy snowfall this time of year, according to the Maine Farmer’s Almanac.
Tribes across the United States have their own names for February’s full moon, according to the Western Washington University Planetarium website. The Arapaho in the Great Plains have the closest name to Snow Moon, which is “frost sparkling in the sun.”

Other tribes have names that are the opposite, like the Zuni Tribe in New Mexico who call it “onon u’la’ukwamme,” which means “no snow in trails.”
The Snow Moon can be seen annually in February and marks important holidays in the Lunar calendar.

Some tribes named this full moon after animals. The Tlingit Tribe in the Pacific Northwest call it “s’eek dis” or “black bear moon.” The Haida Tribe in Alaska call it “hlgit’un kungáay” or “goose moon.”
This full moon is also significant in other cultures. It marks Māgha Pūjā, an important Buddhist festival that celebrates Buddha gathering his first 1,250 disciples.
Typical of a normal year, 2021 will also have 12 full moons. (Last year had 13 full moons, two of which were in October.)
Here are all of the full moons remaining this year and their names, according to The Old Farmer’s Almanac:
March 28 — Worm moon
April 26 — Pink moon
May 26 — Flower moon
June 24 — Strawberry moon
July 23 — Buck moon
August 22 — Sturgeon moon
September 20 — Harvest moon
October 20 — Hunter’s moon
November 19 — Beaver moon
December 18 — Cold moon
Be sure to check for the other names of these moons as well, attributed to the different Native American tribes.
Here is what else you can look forward to in 2021.
Meteor showers
There is a bit of a wait until the next meteor shower, the popular Lyrids in April. The Lyrids will peak on April 22 and will be best seen in the Northern Hemisphere — but the moon will be 68% full, according to the American Meteor Society.
The Eta Aquariids follow soon after, peaking on May 5 when the moon is 38% full. This shower is best seen in the southern tropics, but will still produce a medium shower for those north of the equator.
The Milky Way is seen from the Glacier Point Trailside in Yosemite National Park, California.

The Delta Aquariids are also best seen from the southern tropics and will peak between July 28 and 29 when the moon is 74% full.
Interestingly, another meteor shower peaks on the same night — the Alpha Capricornids. Although this is a much weaker shower, it has been known to produce some bright fireballs during the peak. And it will be visible for those on either side of the equator.
The Perseid meteor shower, the most popular of the year, will peak between August 11 and 12 in the Northern Hemisphere when the moon is only 13% full.
Here is the meteor shower schedule for the rest of the year, according to EarthSky’s meteor shower outlook.
October 8: Draconids
October 21: Orionids
November 4 to 5: South Taurids
November 11 to 12: North Taurids
November 17: Leonids
December 13 to 14: Geminids
December 22: Ursids
Solar and lunar eclipses
This year, there will be two eclipses of the sun and two eclipses of the moon — and three of these will be visible for some in North America, according to The Old Farmer’s Almanac.
A total eclipse of the moon will occur on May 26, best visible to those in western North America and Hawaii from 4:46 a.m. ET to 9:51 a.m. ET.
An annular eclipse of the sun will happen on June 10, visible in northern and northeastern North America from 4:12 a.m. ET to 9:11 a.m. ET. The sun won’t be fully blocked by the moon, so be sure to wear eclipse glasses to safely view this event.
November 19 will see a partial eclipse of the moon, and skywatchers in North America and Hawaii will see it between 1 a.m. ET and 7:06 a.m. ET.
And the year ends with a total eclipse of the sun on December 4. It won’t be seen in North America, but those in the Falkland Islands, the southern tip of Africa, Antarctica and southeastern Australia will be able to spot it.
