"A Full Wolf Moon is set to light up skies around the world - and you don't want to miss it. The Moon will appear full for about three days around this time," NASA explained.
"What makes this Full Wolf Moon particularly special is the fact that it will pass in front of Mars - rendering the usually bright planet invisible in the night sky from some countries."
"The January full moon is the 'Wolf Moon', in reference to the packs of wolves heard howling outside villages at this time of year. However, you'll also hear it called the Ice Moon, the Old Moon, and the Moon after Yule."
"Like Earth, the Moon has a day side and a night side, which change as the Moon rotates. The Sun always illuminates half of the Moon while the other half remains dark, but how much we are able to see of that illuminated half changes as the Moon travels through its orbit."
