Good morning from the ABC Action News team.
Remember to look up today. Not only will Venus be shining brightly all month long, but we'll also have a full moon. The February Snow Moon is set to reach peak illumination at 8:53 a.m., meaning it will likely greet you on your way to school or work this morning. Then, later tonight, grab a telescope or some binoculars if you also want to get a good look at Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.
