Full Moon
THE FULL SNOW MOON & SUPERMOON
Almanac.com
 February 11, 2019

The Full Moon for February is the best supermoon of 2019. Traditionally, this Moon was called the Snow Moon. Find out why—plus, see more Moon facts and folklore.

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).

In ancient times, people across Europe and Native Americans used the Moon to track the seasons. In the lunar calendar, names were often given to each month’s Moon. (If this sounds odd to you, remember that our current calendar is based on the Sun and the solar year!)

Traditionally, the Moon we see in February is called the Snow Moon due to the typically heavy snowfall of February. On average, February is the USA’s snowiest month, according to data from the National Weather Service.

Other Full Moon names include: the “Shoulder to Shoulder Around the Fire Moon” (from the Wishram people of the Pacific Northwest), the “No Snow in the Trails Moon” (Zuni, of the Southwest), and the “Bone Moon” (Cherokee, of the Southeast). The Bone Moon meant that there was so little food that people gnawed on bones and ate bone marrow soup.

Do supermoons truly appear brighter? Technically, yes. Practically, it depends on your point of comparison. The supermoon’s diameter is indeed about 7% greater than an ordinary full Moon and 14% greater than a full Moon when it’s at its furthest point in its orbit to Earth (a “micromoon”).And a supermoon exceeds the brightness of an ordinary Moon by 15%! When compared to a micromoon, the supermoon is 30% brighter!

One of downtown’s iconic casinos has announced a pair of exciting projects in the works, a new full-service saloon, Whiskey Licker Up, and Hotel Apache, a boutique hotel.

Here’s a look at Whiskey Licker Up, a bar and restaurant which will feature a huge rotating bar as its centerpiece.

Whiskey Licker Up will sit on the southwest corner of Binion’s, directly above its popular Whiskey Licker Bar.

The bar will overlook Fremont Street Experience as well as its 1st Street stage.

The new venue will offer drinks, dining, drinks, dancing, live entertainment, drinking and a mechanical bull. As well as drinks, probably. It’s Las Vegas!

Construction of Whiskey Licker Up is expected to be completed in summer 2019.

You can already see a bit of the new venue peeking through the Binion’s facade.
