Eyes to the sky tonight to see the Full Wolf Moon — 2023's first Full Moon of the year.

Whatever you are up to, if you have reasonably clear skies tonight, pause for a moment or two and take in the splendour of the Moon. Rising just before sunset, the Moon reaches its Full phase for the month at 6:10 p.m. EST. However, the Wolf Moon will appear Full all night long, and possibly well into Saturday night as well.

So, there's plenty of time to check it out.

What is a Wolf Moon?

Each Full Moon of the year has one or more names associated with it, made popular by the various Farmers' Almanacs that are published over the years. These names are a mix of First Nations, Colonial, and European folklore.
