Wolf Moon Tonight
From National Geographic:
Year's Biggest Full Moon, Mars Create Sky Show
Red planet will join supersize "wolf moon"
A full moon hangs over Vancouver Island, British Columbia.
The biggest full moon of 2010 will rise in the east tonight, and it'll appear with a bright sidekick: Mars will cozy up just to the left of the supersize moon.
January's full moon is also called the wolf moon, according to Native American tradition associating this month's full moon with wolves howling in the cold midwinter.
(Take a moon myths and mysteries quiz.)
The 2010 wolf moon will appear 30 percent brighter and 14 percent larger than any other full moon this year, because our cosmic neighbor will actually be closer to Earth than usual.
Tonight's 'wolf' moon promises rare treat
You won't need a telescope to catch the best view of the moon we'll have all year.
