In February 2028: first quarter on February 3, full moon on February 10, last quarter on February 17, and new moon on February 25. The dates and times follow Universal Time until your browser converts them to your own time zone, so a phase that falls near midnight can land on the day before or after where you live.
The full moon of February is traditionally called the Snow Moon. That night the Moon is 356,711 km from Earth, close enough to be called a supermoon.
For stars, meteors and the Milky Way, the darkest nights run from February 22 to February 28, around the new moon, when the Moon stays out of the evening sky.
