Stargazers around the world were treated to a rare sight last night (and this morning) as the Super Snow Moon was in full illumination.
Snow Moon is a name given to the February moon by Native Americans and Europeans as it is a month associated with heavy snowfall.
Here are some of the best pictures we could find that amateur and professional photographers took of the phenomenon from around the world.

The moon looks upon many night flowers; the night flowers see but one moon.

The next full moon will fall on March 20 and it will also be a Super Moon. So if you failed to see the Super Moon courtesy of the overcast sky, you know when you can expect see it again.
