Full Wolf Moon Devours Mars
January 13 - January 14
A super special full moon for those of you lucky enough to watch it from the Americas. At 9:21 PM Eastern Time, the moon will slide in front of incredibly bright mars, hiding it. Mars will return on the other side about an hour later.
Why a “Wolf Moon”? As creatures well-adapted to winter conditions, wolves are often observed howling during the crisp, cold months ? a behavior that is thought to reflect excitement and contentment with the wintry landscape.
