EVG regular Grant Shaffer took this tonight in Tompkins Square Park...
Hey, where's Jupiter???
Some background via Universe Today:
February’s full moon is aptly named the Full Snow Moon as snowfall can be heavy this month.
And!
The Full Moon celebrates Jupiter’s coming opposition by accompanying the bright planet in a beautiful conjunction tonight.
And here is the moon from 2:03 a.m. overnight via Bobby Williams and his EV Observatory...

The star that appears about half way between the moon and the left edge of the photo is Jupiter, some seven degrees over. Sorry I got frozen out tonight, but I will be showing Jupiter as soon as it gets a little warmer.
Jupiter is not a star, it's a planet.
