Astronomy: The Snow Moon

Sunday, February 1, 2026

6:00 p.m.–7:00 p.m.

Winter is a prime season for stargazing. The cold air clears the night sky of clouds and creates ideal conditions for seeing the stars, planets, and other celestial highlights. Harsh winters have given February’s full moon the name “Snow Moon”. Join the Urban Park Rangers on this nighttime adventure to learn all about the winter night sky.
