See tonight's Wolf Moon, the first full Moon of 2024 - BBC Sky at Night Magazine
by Gunnar Larson 25 Jan '24

25 Jan '24

https://www.skyatnightmagazine.com/advice/wolf-moon The first full Moon of 2024 rises tonight, 25 January at around 4pm UTC and is known as the 'Wolf Moon'. The light from a full Moon really is spectacular, and on a clear night it illuminates your surroundings, acting as a shining beacon in the night sky. As a result, many astronomers avoid observing the night sky during the full Moon, as it hampers observations of deep-sky objects like galaxies.
