Full Mini Snow Moon rising over the dunes.

Also called Hunger Moon, the full Moon of February 2024 is at apogee, when the moon is at the furthest distance from the Earth during this orbit. Because it is further away, the Moon appears smaller and why this month’s full Moon is called a Mini Moon or Micro Moon.

The Moon shot above, with Saint Ann’s steeple, was taken during the full Snow Moon of February  2021.
