Here's what to know about 2025's full moons, including what dates they will appear and what they are called, from the Wolf Moon to the Cold Moon.
Do you love to head outside and gaze into the night sky?
February is your month.
A planetary alignment of six planets has been visible since the first part of February.
They'll be joined by a seventh, Mercury, on Feb. 28.
Not all will be visible with the naked eye, but a pair of binoculars or a telescope will bring two of the hardest to see within view.
Planet parade: What planets are visible right now?
Saturn, Venus, Neptune, Uranus, Jupiter and Mars are visible after sunset, according to Sky at Night Magazine, which offered some advice on how and where to spot the planets:
While the best time to see the six planets was earlier in February, you can still spot them in mid-February, especially Venus, Mars and Jupiter, which "are still great naked-eye targets perfect for beginners and young stargazers," Sky at Night Magazine said.
Feb. 28 planetary alignment: How to spot 7 planets
Saturn, Mercury, Neptune, Venus, Uranus, Jupiter and Mars are visible in the night sky right now.
On Feb. 28, Mercury will join them, adding a seventh planet to the planetary parade.
Planetary parade: Here's all 7 of the planets visible in February 2025 and where to spot them
Five of the brightest planets -- Venus, Jupiter, Mars, Mercury, and Saturn -- will be visible to the naked eye this month. You may need good binoculars or a small telescope to spot Uranus and Neptune, according to space.com.
NASA lists all the planets you might be able to see in February, if conditions are favorable:
Feb. 24 may be great night to see 5 planets at same time
"Anyone with a clear, unobstructed view of the horizon may be able to see all five bright planets stretching across the sky.
"Two of these planets, Mercury and Saturn, will appear especially close together on Monday, Feb. 24 -- the highlight of this month-long planetary display," according to space.com.
When was last alignment of 7 planets?
The last time all seven planets aligned was on April 8 during the total solar eclipse.
How unusual is a planetary alignment?
It's not especially remarkable for a few planets to line up in the sky, but the sight of four or five brilliant planets at once is less common, according to NASA.
"While this planetary alignment isn't particularly rare, it is relatively uncommon. Spotting two, three, or even four bright planets at once is not unusual, but the chance to see all five together doesn't come around often," according to space.com.

How many planets are in our solar system? See the planets in order
The solar system has eight planets.
Moving out from the sun in order are: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

There are five officially recognized dwarf planets in our solar system: Ceres, Pluto, Haumea, Makemake, and Eris, according to NASA.
What happened to Pluto? Why isn't Pluto classified as a planet?
In 2006, astronomers reclassified Pluto as a dwarf planet when the International Astronomical Union voted to redefine what a planet is.
Pluto meets the first two criteria, but not the third.
Pluto shares its orbit with many other objects in the Kuiper Belt, according to International Astronomical Union.
What's a dwarf planet?
"A dwarf planet is an object in orbit around the Sun that is large enough to pull itself into a nearly round shape but has not been able to clear its orbit of debris," according to International Astronomical Union.
When is the next full moon? Watch the total lunar eclipse, blood moon in March
The next full moon will be 2:55 a.m. EDT Friday, March 14.
It's called the worm moon, according to Astronomy.com.
➤ Shortly after time change, look up to see total lunar eclipse. What to know about blood moon
The moon travels around the Earth in an oval-shaped orbit, called an ellipse.
When a full moon coincides with the point in the moon's orbit that's the closest to the Earth, it's called a supermoon since it appears larger and brighter. There are usually only three or four supermoons a year.
