January 3 — The Wolf Moon is the first full Moon of 2026, marking the completion of the Moon’s first lunar cycle of the year.
Astronomically, a full Moon occurs when the Moon is positioned directly opposite the Sun, allowing its Earth-facing side to be fully illuminated. This alignment creates the bright, circular Moon that dominates the night sky during each lunar month.
The name Wolf Moon is linked to the heart of winter — a season when nights are longest and landscapes are often covered in snow. Cold winter air typically improves atmospheric clarity, making full Moons appear sharper and more luminous than at other times of the year.
As the Moon rises, its light reflects strongly off snow-covered ground, increasing brightness and contrast across the landscape. Shadows grow deeper, star patterns appear steadier, and the quiet motion of Earth, Moon, and Sun reveals itself in perfect celestial balance.
