2025's first full moon will be the last of four consecutive supermoons, according to NASA. But it's a pretty eventful lunar phase. Monday's full moon has a lot going on, which would make anyone want to howl with delight, especially since this month's moon is known as the "wolf" moon.

For a few days this week, the Wolf Moon – the first full moon of the year – is expected to brighten up the night sky. Here's when you can expect to see it.

Look for the January full moon to rise from the eastern horizon around sunset, according to NASA. By midnight, the wolf moon should glow bright and round overhead before disappearing at sunrise into the western horizon.

Dating back to the 1930s, the Maine Farmers' Almanac began publishing what it said were Native American names for each full moon and the names have stuck since. January's full moon is called the Wolf Moon due to the "packs of wolves heard howling outside the villages amid the cold and deep snows of winter," according to NASA.
