Full Wolf Supermoon with Aldebaran

What a great start to 2018. January is a special month. To start the year, we had a Full Wolf Supermoon. In Native American and Colonial times, the Full Moon for January was called the a Wolf Moon, as it was when the wolves howled outside of the camps, and settlements. You can also sometimes see the January Moon called an Old Moon.

At the end of January, we are looking at a Full Blue Snow Supermoon! Quite a mouthful. Hopefully it won't be cloudy like it was for me on New Years Day! (Hence the pre-full supermoon photo!)
