If you’re a night owl, the 79.5% moon will be in conjunction with Jupiter in the early hours of Feb. 27 (around 01:30 AM ET). You will be able to see it with the naked eye, but you’ll need powerful binoculars or a telescope to see Jupiter and its moons disappear and re-emerge again.

February's full moon, known as the snow moon, will reach its peak illumination on Sunday, Feb. 1, 2026. Weather forecasts for Ohio on the night of the full moon predict partly cloudy skies and cold temperatures.

The moon greets Jupiter two days ahead of its full moon phase on Feb. 1.
