Moon phase today: What the Moon will look like on February 1
It’s the Full Moon tonight, and in February, this is typically known as the Snow Moon. Keep scrolling to find out what you can see on the moon tonight.
What is today’s Moon phase?
As of Sunday, Feb. 1, the Moon phase is Full Moon. According to NASA’s Daily Moon Guide, 100% of the Moon will be lit up tonight.
The Moon is big and bright in our skies tonight. If you take a closer look, what features can you spot on it’s surface? Without any visual aids, the Kepler Crater, Aristarchus Plateau, and the Mare Serenitatis are all visible. Want to see more? Pull out the binoculars to see the Posidonius Crater and Apennine Mountains too. Finally, with a telescope, you’ll see all this and the Linne Crater, Rima Ariadaeus, and the Fra Mauro Highlands.
When is the next Full Moon?
The next Full Moon will be on March 3.
What are Moon phases?
According to NASA, the lunar cycle lasts around 29.5 days. This is how long the Moon takes to travel once around Earth. Over that period, it passes through eight recognised phases. The same side of the Moon always faces our planet, however the portion that appears lit changes as the Moon moves along its orbit. The amount of sunlight reaching the Moon is what makes it appear full, partially illuminated, or almost invisible at different points in the cycle. The eight lunar phases are:
New Moon – The Moon is between Earth and the sun, so the side we see is dark (in other words, it’s invisible to the eye).
Mashable Light Speed
Waxing Crescent – A small sliver of light appears on the right side (Northern Hemisphere).
First Quarter – Half of the Moon is lit on the right side. It looks like a half-Moon.
Waxing Gibbous – More than half is lit up, but it’s not quite full yet.
Full Moon – The whole face of the Moon is illuminated and fully visible.
Waning Gibbous – The Moon starts losing light on the right side. (Northern Hemisphere)
Third Quarter (or Last Quarter) – Another half-Moon, but now the left side is lit.
Waning Crescent – A thin sliver of light remains on the left side before going dark again.

Lost your job to AI? See the new sci-fi thriller Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die for free.
If you’ve lost your job to AI, Briarcliff Entertainment wants to give you a gift: free tickets to see the highly anticipated sci-fi thriller Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die. Because “Who better to see a film about AI’s impact than those already experiencing it firsthand?” as Tom Ortenberg, the company’s CEO, noted.
Directed by Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean) and written by Matthew Robinson (The Invention of Lying), Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die is set to hit cinemas Feb. 13. It stars Sam Rockwell as a man from the future who comes to warn of impending global doom from an AI apocalypse. It’s not too far off from reality, TBH. For some, the AI revolution hits a little too close to home, and Briarcliff Entertainment, in partnership with Fever, wanted to give those folks a little something special.
“If you or someone you know has been quietly replaced, sidelined, or optimized in the name of progress, tell us your story and receive a pair of tickets, on the house,” a letter on the movie’s social pages states.

The first 1,000 folks to sign up will get two free tickets. Just head to the Fever promotional page, log in or sign up using your email or social accounts, and you’ll be directed to a checkout page where you can “Tell your story or share your LinkedIn” to secure the tickets. The promotional period ends on Sunday, Feb. 8, so you’ll want to act fast. If you’re within the first 1,000 signups, you’ll receive your coupon to get two free tickets within two days.

The movie doesn’t hit theaters until next week, but check out the trailer for a glimpse into the bonkers comedy. Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die also stars Haley Lu Richardson, Michael Peña, Zazie Beetz, Asim Chaudhry, and Juno Temple.
