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.

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.
