The second full moon of the year is set to put on a stunning spectacle tonight as our lunar satellite lights up skies across the world.
Stargazers are in for a treat as the Full Snow Moon reaches 100 per cent illumination at 16:56 GMT (11:56 EST), offering the best view later in the evening when the sun has gone down.
A full moon occurs once every 29.5 days — the length of time it takes for it to go through a whole lunar cycle — and February's is known as the 'Snow Moon' because it often coincides with heavy snowfall.
Astronomers say that to see as many of the surface details of the moon as possible, skywatchers need to give their eyes time to adjust to lower lights and turn off artificial lights sources.
The only way views might be hampered is by cloud cover, which will blanket most of Scotland and the south of England from 18:00 GMT.
Met Office forecasters believe this will largely clear across England and Wales by 21:00 GMT, although some may remain in parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland.
