February full moon 2026: See the Snow Moon
The February Full Moon is almost here, and fittingly it’s called the Snow Moon; perfect for the winter weather much of the country has been experiencing. Keep reading to find out more about this month's moon, and when you can see it.
When is the February Full Moon?February's Full Moon will occur on Sunday, Feb. 1. Time and Date estimates it will peak at 5:09 p.m. ET.
What is the February Full Moon called?Full Moons all have different names, and February's Moon is known as the Snow Moon according to Royal Museums Greenwich. There's not a lot of mystery behind this name, since February is often the snowiest month of the year.
When is the next Full Moon?The next Full Moon is predicted to take place on March 3, 2026. This will also be a total lunar eclipse in parts of the world, including North America.
What are the lunar phases?The Full Moon is one of the eight stages in the Moon’s 29.5-day cycle as it orbits Earth. Each phase reflects how much of the Moon’s surface is illuminated from what we can see on Earth. We always face the same side of the Moon, but as it travels around Earth, the angle of sunlight changes, which is why it sometimes appears full, sometimes half-lit, and sometimes nearly invisible.
The phases are:
New Moon — The moon is between Earth and the sun, so the side we see is dark (in other words, it's invisible to the eye).
Waxing Crescent — A small sliver of light appears on the right side (Northern Hemisphere).
First Quarter — Half of the moon is lit on the right side. It looks like a half-moon.
Waxing Gibbous — More than half is lit up, but it’s not quite full yet.
Full Moon — The whole face of the moon is illuminated and fully visible.
Waning Gibbous — The moon starts losing light on the right side.
Last Quarter (or Third Quarter) — Another half-moon, but now the left side is lit.
Waning Crescent — A thin sliver of light remains on the left side before going dark again.
Moon phase today: What the Moon will look like on January 30
Have you noticed the Moon is getting a little bigger each night this week? That's because of where we are in the lunar cycle, a 29.5 cycle of the Moon's phases. Right now, we're just a few days away from the Full Moon. After this point, it will start getting smaller each night.
What is today’s Moon phase?As of Friday, Jan. 30, the Moon phase is Waxing Gibbous. According to NASA's Daily Moon Guide, 92% of the Moon will be lit up tonight.
The Moon is so close to being full, so there's plenty to see. If you don't have any visual aids, you can still enjoy glimpses of the Mares Imbrium, Fecunditatis, and Crisium.With binoculars, you'll also be able to see the Gassendi Crater, Mare Frigoris, and Posidonius Crater. With a telescope, you should also be able to spot the Apollo 11 landing spot, Gruithuisen Domes, and Rima Hyginus.
When is the next Full Moon?The next Full Moon will be on Feb. 1. The last full moon was on Jan. 3.
What are Moon phases?According to NASA, the lunar cycle lasts around 29.5 days. This is how long the Moon takes to travel once around Earth. Over that period, it passes through eight recognised phases. The same side of the Moon always faces our planet, however the portion that appears lit changes as the Moon moves along its orbit. The amount of sunlight reaching the Moon is what makes it appear full, partially illuminated, or almost invisible at different points in the cycle. The eight lunar phases are:
New Moon - The Moon is between Earth and the sun, so the side we see is dark (in other words, it's invisible to the eye).
Waxing Crescent - A small sliver of light appears on the right side (Northern Hemisphere).
First Quarter - Half of the Moon is lit on the right side. It looks like a half-Moon.
Waxing Gibbous - More than half is lit up, but it’s not quite full yet.
Full Moon - The whole face of the Moon is illuminated and fully visible.
Waning Gibbous - The Moon starts losing light on the right side. (Northern Hemisphere)
Third Quarter (or Last Quarter) - Another half-Moon, but now the left side is lit.
Waning Crescent - A thin sliver of light remains on the left side before going dark again.
Vic Michaelis on masterminding Brennan Lee Mulligan quitting Dropout for American Girl Dolls
Dropout fans know Vic Michaelis as a mastermind of cringe comedy, whether they are badgering Sam Reich for a dollar on Game Changer, playing a fictional version of themselves for the interview improv show Very Important People, or joining Dimension 20 as a death-focused "dusty do-gooder" in Gladlands. But with Michaelis' role on the new Peacock series Ponies, they take their sharp wit to 1977 Russia, playing the frustrated office manager for the U.S. Embassy in Moscow.
Michaelis visited Mashable's Say More couch to talk all of this and more with Entertainment Editor Kristy Puchko. In the video above, they dig into Vic's pitch for Game Changer's version of Shark Tank. In the episode, called "Fool's Gold," contestants are pitched videos that could go viral. While some involved goofy animation and breast milk taste tests, Michaelis pitched that Brennan Lee Mulligan quit Dropout to make American Girl Doll shoes.
"You take the thing people love most and the thing they fear most," they said of the pitch, noting, "Sam said pitch three to five ideas. And I said, 'I have one, and if you don't want to do it, then I don't want to come on the show.'"
The resulting video didn't just make waves on TikTok and Instagram, where fans were frantic about the joke and whether or not it was real. News of the fake resignation hit Google in the form of an Easter egg, which rained little shoes when you googled "Brennan Lee Mulligan."
In the full episode of Say More, available on YouTube, Michaelis speaks more on that particular moment of internet breakery. Above, they also reveal that it was either going to be American Girl Dolls or the Sylvanians (aka Calico Critters). "I ended up doing a bunch of research on what brand was most likely to interact with the video," Michaelis explained. "I had narrowed it down to Sylvanian dolls and American Girl Dolls."
We all know what went down with the Sylvanian dolls, right? A content creator called Sylvanian Drama went viral for using the dolls to create scandalous stories for TikTok, and then was sued by the toymaker in July of 2025.
"That lawsuit against that amazing Sylvanian Drama creator happened immediately after the episode dropped," Michaelis recounted, "or like right before it was supposed to come out. So, I was like 'Thank God' [I went with American Girl Dolls]."
Michaelis also touches on how their gag about Evelyn Tucci, who they claimed on Game Changer is the actor Stanley Tucci's paternal grandmother, has found new life online. Plus, they told Mashable about how their real-life background in martial arts came into play on Ponies. OK, so a kick-to-the-throat attack was cut from Season 1. But could we see Michaelis' black belt skills in Season 2? Here's hoping.
For more from Michaelis on Very Important People, Dimension 20, and the unexpected connection between Game Changer, Heated Rivalry, and Ponies, check out the full Say More episode on YouTube.
Ponies is now streaming on Peacock. Game Changer, Dimension 20: Gladlands, and Very Important People are all streaming on Dropout.
Kermit being interviewed by Jimmy Kimmel is as delightful as youd expect
Sometimes you need a wholesome antidote to the news, and a frog puppet appearing on a talk show just so happens to tick that box.
In the clip above Kermit appears on Jimmy Kimmel Live! to promote The Muppet Show's return, discussing everything from his star on the Hollywood walk of fame to whether or not Miss Piggy would be upset with him meeting Kaley Cuoco backstage ("No, she watches Fallon," is Kermit's quick response).
All in all a delightful interview.
Daily Show unpacks why Amazon spent $75 million on Melania documentary
The Melania documentary has had its premiere, and all of the late night shows have similar questions.
"Amazon believed in this movie a lot. Like, suspiciously a lot," says Daily Show host Desi Lydic in the clip above. "Huh, why would Jeff Bezos, a billionaire who has tons of business with a government run by a famously-corrupt president known for loving bribes, overpay for a Melania documentary? Hmm, let me think."
Elsewhere, Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert also had similar things to say about Amazon's big paycheck — especially on the same week the company has cut 16,000 jobs.

Apple sells record number of iPhones on simply staggering demand
Remember the rumors that the iPhone Air wasn't selling well? True or not, it didn't hurt Apple's iPhone sales at all. In fact, the company just posted a record-breaking quarter, and demand for iPhones has never been higher.
Apple reported its fiscal first quarter earnings on Thursday, and it beat basically every estimate the experts put out there. In particular, iPhone revenue was $85.27 billion, a 23 percent increase over the same period last year. Apple's total revenue for the quarter was also a record-breaking $143.8 billion, a 16 percent year-over-year increase.
Speaking to CNBC, Apple CEO Tim Cook called the demand for the iPhone last quarter "simply staggering."
SEE ALSO: Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max review: The mighty workhorse we neededHere's another staggering number: According to Cook, Apple now has an active base of 2.5 billion devices, which includes iPhones, Macs, iPads, and other devices.
We don't know which iPhone models sold the best, as iPhone doesn't report them separately. But it's safe to say that the iPhone 17 lineup was a success.
Featured Video For You Slow internet on your iPhone? Try clearing your cacheNotably, 2025 was the year in which Apple expanded its traditional iPhone/iPhone Pro mix with two new models, the iPhone 16e, and the ultra-thin iPhone Air. For 2026, Apple reportedly has even bigger ambitions, with the mythical iPhone Fold joining the lineup. The company will also reportedly split its iPhone launch schedule into two, with iPhone 18 launching in the spring, and iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max launching in the fall, alongside iPhone Fold.

All listings on TCGplayer are completely sold out.
For more Pokémon TCG deals, the Mega Evolution Booster Bundle is down to around $52 on Amazon. What’s more, booster packs of Prismatic Evolutions, another in-demand expansion, are below market value on Amazon.

Stephen Colbert slams Amazon for spending $75 million on Melania documentary
The Melania documentary has had its premiere, and like Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert has thoughts — particularly about how much money Amazon spent on it.
"This film did not come cheap, y'all. To produce and distribute it Jeff Bezos paid $75 million. Now obviously he's one of richest men in the world, that's chump change to Bezos himself, but it might have helped the 16,000 people that Amazon announced they were firing yesterday," says Colbert in the Late Show monologue above.

NYT Pips hints, answers for January 30, 2026
Welcome to your guide to Pips, the latest game in the New York Times catalogue.
Released in August 2025, the Pips puts a unique spin on dominoes, creating a fun single-player experience that could become your next daily gaming habit.
Currently, if you're stuck, the game only offers to reveal the entire puzzle, forcing you to move onto the next difficulty level and start over. However, we have you covered! Below are piecemeal answers that will serve as hints so that you can find your way through each difficulty level.
How to play PipsIf you've ever played dominoes, you'll have a passing familiarity for how Pips is played. As we've shared in our previous hints stories for Pips, the tiles, like dominoes, are placed vertically or horizontally and connect with each other. The main difference between a traditional game of dominoes and Pips is the color-coded conditions you have to address. The touching tiles don't necessarily have to match.
SEE ALSO: Wordle today: Answer, hints for January 30, 2026The conditions you have to meet are specific to the color-coded spaces. For example, if it provides a single number, every side of a tile in that space must add up to the number provided. It is possible – and common – for only half a tile to be within a color-coded space.
Here are common examples you'll run into across the difficulty levels:
Number: All the pips in this space must add up to the number.
Equal: Every domino half in this space must be the same number of pips.
Not Equal: Every domino half in this space must have a completely different number of pips.
Less than: Every domino half in this space must add up to less than the number.
Greater than: Every domino half in this space must add up to more than the number.
If an area does not have any color coding, it means there are no conditions on the portions of dominoes within those spaces.
