Full Wolf Moon. This full Moon appeared when wolves howled in hunger outside the villages. It is also known as the Old Moon. To some Native American tribes, this was the Snow Moon, but most applied that name to the next full Moon, in February. | Guardians Of The Wolves

How did the Wolf Moon get its name? Wolves are nocturnal creatures and howl toward the sky to project the sound farther. January’s full moon’s name, the Wolf Moon, was popularized by the Old Farmer's Almanac, which has recorded the monthly full moons since 1792. #WolfMoon #Moon #Space #FullMoon | Museum of Science, Boston
