GALLERY: Our favourite snaps of the Snow Moon

Local News by Alex Jones 1st Mar 2021  

Any amateur photographer will tell you... taking a picture of the moon isn't easy.

But with clear skies and the orb appearing larger than usual due to its proximity to the horizon, this weekend Penarthians were treated to the most beautiful moonrise many of us can remember.

The town's budding photographers came out in force.

Flick through the gallery to see some of our favourites so far.

If you took one that deserves to feature in our collection, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

February's full moon is traditionally known as the Snow Moon in the northern hemisphere and typically symbolises the beginning of spring.

We don't know exactly why the moon appears bigger when closer to the horizon, but this NASA webpage gives us some insight.
