FULL MOON POTLUCK 19TH AT 6:30 AT TERRYMAR PAVILION
Another full moon pot luck approaches. Let's all get together on the 19th at 6:30 and Howell at the moon and have some fun. Looking forward to seeing everyone!!!!!
The February “Super Snow” Moon
February’s full Moon peaks on Tuesday, February 19, at 10:53 A.M. EST (15:53 UTC), but will appear full the night before and after its peak to the casual stargazer.
 It will also be a so-called “supermoon,” which means the Moon is at its closest point in its orbit to Earth.
In fact, the February’s full Moon is the nearest, largest, and brightest full Moon of the year!  Technically, it’s the second of three supermoons to occur in 2019 (January, February, March).
