• February 5th - First Quarter Moon

• February 12th - Full Moon - A special opportunity to observe the full Moon with its characteristic winter aspect, the so-called "Snow Moon". A phenomenon that occurs during winter because the colder and cleaner atmosphere of winter makes the Moon's light appear purer and brighter, giving the impression of a "Snow Moon"

• February 20th - Waning Moon

• February 28th - New Moon

• Both Mars and Jupiter are in excellent observation conditions

• February 16 - Maximum Brightness of Venus On this date, the planet Venus will reach its maximum brightness in the sky, as its disk will be completely illuminated by sunlight, making Venus the brightest object in the night sky, after the Moon.
  We will be holding a special viewing session of bright Venus on the evening of February 15th.

• February 21st and 22nd - Orion Nebula Special, one of the most impressive and famous star-forming regions in the sky, the famous Orion Nebula is a cloud of interstellar gas and dust where new solar systems are constantly forming and will be highlighted these days as it will be in a privileged position in the sky.

• February 28th - “Alignment” of planets - alignment of 7 planets of which Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Uranus will be the planets visible in this alignment, from the OLA

• February 28 - Mars Transit Special.
  On this day, Mars reaches its highest point during the 8:30 pm session, so it will be in excellent conditions for observation. If weather conditions permit, observation of Mars will be done through a camera.

• Some distant galaxies begin to be visible during the sessions (preferably the second session of the night).
  To ensure good visibility, days with the Moon in the sky should be avoided.
