Full Moon Images from Around the World Announcing Spring 2021

Published March 2nd, 2021 - 08:11 GMT

Full moon blustered all over different countries, Saturday, February 27th, as people glazed into the clear sky just to watch full brightness, also known as the 'Snow Moon'.

The full moon got its other name because it usually means the end of winter and the beginning of the spring season.

Moreover, the moon at this time of the year looks particularly huge because the full moon in February is at its shortest distance from Earth.
