Are you ready for one of the celestial highlights of 2025? The first full moon of the year, the Wolf Moon, will do something extraordinary, as seen across North America.
Although it will be officially full at 5:26 p.m. EST on Monday, Jan. 13, the full moon will be best seen rising in the east at dusk on Tuesday, Jan. 14 at moonrise where you are. It will be in the constellation Cancer and hang below a bright planet, Mars, which will have a distinctly golden glow. That will be the best time to watch it rise, because on Monday, it will appear so soon after sunset that the sky will still be too bright to fully appreciate the full moon.
