There will also be two total lunar eclipses that occur during the March and September full moon events. A lunar eclipse, which causes the moon to look dark or dimmed, occurs when Earth is between the sun and moon and the three celestial objects line up in a row so that the moon passes into our planet’s shadow.

Unsurprisingly, the name of February's full moon became known as the snow moon since it rises in one of the snowiest months, on average, in the United States. Because bad weather and heavy snows made hunting difficult, the moon has also been called the hunger moon, according to NASA.

Louisville could see the return of snowfall before Wednesday's aptly named full "Snow Moon" arrives in the skies above Kentucky. The National Weather Service in Louisville issued both a winter storm watch and a flood watch for parts of south central Kentucky through Tuesday night with 1-2 inches of snow possible Monday evening through Tuesday.
