Happy Space Science Saturday! Did you know that February’s Full Moon is known as the Snow Moon? The name is tied directly to winter weather. In the 1760s, explorer Jonathan Carver, after visiting with the Naudowessie (Dakota), documented that they called it the Snow Moon because snowfall is typically at its heaviest during this part of winter.
