The January full moon is called the wolf moon because wolves are often heard howling at this time of year, helping to reinforce social bonds and coordinate hunting.
On the evening of Monday, Jan. 13, the full moon will appear extremely close to Mars. This brief alignment will create a stunning view for skywatchers across the U.S. and Canada.
In January, California stargazers can expect to see four planets aligned in the sky, including a conjunction of Venus and Saturn, along with the wolf moon.
The peak illumination of the wolf moon will occur at 2:26 p.m. on Jan. 13, presenting an opportunity for stargazers to witness beautiful celestial phenomena.
