Stargazers may be able to catch the last full Moon of meteorological winter on Sunday.
If you’re tempted to pop outside to catch a glimpse, it will rise at 16:13 GMT in London and should be visible – clouds permitting – until it sets at 08:06 GMT on 2 February. These timings vary slightly depending on where in the UK you are.
A full Moon happens when the Sun and Moon are on opposite sides of Earth – in alignment, known as ‘syzygy’ – so the whole side that is facing us is illuminated.
It also appears to look full in the days before and after the peak, so there will be other opportunities to see it, if you don’t catch it on Sunday.
