Everything you need to know about the full “Wolf Moon,” including exactly when, where and how to see it at its best from where you are, including an occultation of Mars.

On the night of Jan. 13, the full moon will appear to pass in front of Mars, resulting in an occultation visible from the United States, much of southern and eastern Canada, and West Africa.

The wolf moon is seen in 2023 rising over the Atlantic Ocean on Friday, Jan. 6, 2023 in Stuart, Florida. The year's first full moon is best known as the "wolf moon" since wolves’ howls were more likely to be heard during winter, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac.
