A Full 'Snow' Moon will illuminate the sky on Sunday night - the first 'supermoon' of the decade.
The Snow Moon is the name given to the February full moon because it often coincides with with heavy snowfall, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac.
In the UK, the Snow Moon will rise at around 15:50 GMT on Saturday, February 8, and be visible throughout the night until 07:55 on Sunday, before rising again at 17:15.
The exact moment of 'fullness', when the Moon is directly opposite the Sun is at 07:33 on Sunday, February 9.
