A Rare Event Will Take Place in the Skies Over New England

If you love looking at the skies, you are going to be in for a rare treat on Monday night.

No, it has nothing to do with those drones that have been spotted over various parts of the country in the last few months.

We will see our first full moon of 2025 on Monday, but that's not what makes it so rare.

The Wolf Moon

According to CBS News, the first full moon of 2025 will peak at 5:27 PM on Monday, January 13th.

According to the Old Farmer's Almanac, this full moon is called the Wolf Moon because wolves were more likely to be heard howling at this moon than in any other time of the year.

The Wolf Moon is not the only reason why Monday's event is so special.

What Makes Monday's Full Moon So Special?

According to Marca, the Moon will cover Mars on Monday night.

While this does happen several times a year, it rarely happens during a full moon.

Unfortunately, it may not be easy to see the full moon. According to the National Weather Service, much of New England will have at least partially cloudy skies on Monday night.

The next full moon will take place on February 12th, 2025
