In New York City, the moon will rise at 4:28 p.m. on Monday with 100% illumination, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac. The moon will also not cross the meridian. According to the Old Farmer’s Almanac, the nickname originates from the time period when Native Americans noticed wolves howling in hunger at the Moon. Other notable names for the lunar body include the Center Moon and the Cold Moon – all serve as reminders that the Northern Hemisphere is in the heart of winter. No special equipment is required to view the moon, but if you'd like a closer look, NASA recommends using binoculars or a telescope if you have one. According to the Old Farmer's Almanac, February's full moon, known as the Snow Moon, will reach peak illumination at 8:53 a.m. ET on Wednesday, Feb. 12
