Get ready for a stunning celestial event as the first full Moon of 2025 lights up our skies. Named after North American Indigenous cultures, the “Wolf Moon” marks the second full Moon of winter and the first of the year. The name is believed to have originated from wolf howls echoing through the depths of winter.
According to Dr. Darren Baskill, an astrophysicist from the University of Sussex, European cultures associate this full Moon with wolves’ haunting calls as they search for food during the harsh winter months. A relic of a bygone era, when Britain’s last apex predator was hunted to extinction just 250 years ago.
The Wolf Moon will be visible in the UK on Monday, January 13, 2025, at 10:26 pm GMT. Local moonrise times may vary depending on your location. To witness this event, simply look out for the full Moon as it rises around sunset and sets around sunrise.
