In what appeared a treat to the eyes of those attracted to celestial happenings, the first full moon, also known as "Wolf Moon", of 2025 lit up the skies in North America, indicating the beginning of the lunar cycle.
What is Wolf Moon?
The term Wolf Moon was coined in view of the belief that wolves are more likely to howl during winter's cold, longer nights.
Although this name is deeply rooted in old-school legends, wolves' howling has less to do with the moon, and more with tracing and interaction with other wolves to strengthen social ties.
When was Wolf Moon?
According to The Express Tribune, the Wolf Moon reached the zenith of its visibility at 5:27pm (EST) on January 13.
In case you missed out on the opportune moment to behold it, rest assured that the Wolf Moon will shine bright and clear till January 15, set to run its full course on Wednesday morning.
How and when to watch full Wolf Moon?
Skygazers eager to catch a glimpse of the Wolf Moon are advised to keep an eye on the eastern horizon around sunset, where the moon will vividly illuminate high in the skies by midnight before drowning in the west at sunrise.
NASA stated that a special celestial phenomenon will take place during the night of the full moon, when the Wolf Moon will fly past Mars, becoming more visible across much of the continental United States.
