WOLF MOON PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Charles de Lint | 256 pages | 19 Jan 2004 | Penguin Young Readers Group | 9780142400777 | English | New York, NY, United States Full moon - Wikipedia The time of the full moon is the same everywhere, since it is determined by where the moon is relative to Earth rather than its apparent position in the sky, which is slightly different, depending on one's location. In accordance with local times, observers in the British Isles and Portugal will see the moon become full at p. In New York City, the moon will rise at p. The moon will be in the constellation Gemini and will rise about 2 minutes before sunset. As the moon is on the opposite side of Earth from the sun, one would expect that it would pass through Earth's shadow. Because the plane of the moon's orbit around Earth is tilted, however, lunar eclipses do not happen every time the moon is full. The penumbral lunar eclipse on Jan. A penumbral eclipse doesn't darken the moon nearly as much as a total lunar eclipse, also known as a blood moon. During a total lunar eclipse, the moon passes through the inner part of Earth's shadow called the umbra. As the light from the sun is refracted through Earth's atmosphere, it darkens until it turns a reddish color. A penumbral eclipse can be difficult to notice with the naked eye. If you want to try and see it, you need to be where the moon is above the horizon when it touches Earth's shadow, which will be in Europe, Africa, Asia and the far northeastern and northwestern regions of North America. In London, for example, the moon will touch Earth's shadow at p. In New Delhi, the eclipse begins at p. In Melbourne, Australia, the eclipse starts on Jan. Since the full moon is on the opposite side of Earth from the sun, Northern Hemisphere observers will see it relatively high in the sky — essentially the moon is where the sun would be in the summer months. From New York City, this means the moon hits a maximum altitude of about 71 degrees; observers just a bit farther south in Miami, Florida, will see it reach 87 degrees — nearly straight up at the zenith at local midnight. In the Southern Hemisphere, the reverse is true, as it is summer there. In Cape Town, South Africa, the full moon will reach a maximum altitude of only 32 degrees at a. Northern Hemisphere skies are full of bright constellations — Orion, Taurus, Gemini and Canis Major are all in roughly the same patch of sky. Shows Good Morning America. World News Tonight.

Regardless of where the name Wolf Moon comes from; wolves howl to communicate over long distances both in North America and in Europe. During the denning season in spring and early summer, wolves only howl to pack mates. As the late summer moves towards fall, wolves call more and more to neighbors and enemies. While an average howl from a single wolf lasts from 3 to 7 seconds, a chorus by a pack can last from 30 to seconds and longer during the breeding season in February. So wolves are particularly loud and vocal in the first months of the year, which is probably why people associated the month of January with howling wolves. The scientific community has no indication that the Moon phase plays any particular part in the calls of the wolf, but wolves are nocturnal animals, so they are in general more active at night.

Northern Hemisphere skies are full of bright constellations — Orion, Taurus, Gemini and Canis Major are all in roughly the same patch of sky. Each is made up of enough first- and second- magnitude stars that they are visible even from light-polluted locations; the three stars marking Orion's belt are obvious even in cities like New York or Paris. On the night of the full moon, two planets will also be apparent. In New York, just as the moon rises in the east, Venus will be in the western sky; the planet sets at p. Mars, meanwhile, rises at a. Jupiter and Saturn are both close to the sun in the sky; Jupiter rises on Jan. Jupiter will be only 6. The January full moon is often called the Wolf Moon, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac , and the name may date back to Native American tribes and early colonial times when wolves would howl outside villages.

The gradual dimming of the moon will be barely noticeable and will occur during the daytime, while the moon is below the horizon for most of the Americas, with the exception of Alaska and far eastern portions of Canada, according to NASA. Observers in Asia, Australia, Africa and Europe should be able to see the eclipse if weather permits, according to Accuweather. The first moon in January was nicknamed the wolf moon because the howling of wolves were often heard during that time of year, according to The Old Farmer's Almanac. Those who wish to see the event can check The Farmer's Almanac for local moonrise times. Shows Good Morning America. World News Tonight. This Week. The View. How many Full Moons this year?

Home - Wolf Moon Bourbon The first full moon of January, which is nicknamed the "wolf moon," will appear opposite the sun on Friday at p. Then, as the moon passes opposite the sun, it will pass through the partial shadow of the Earth on Friday night. A penumbral lunar eclipse occurs when the moon is completely immersed in the penumbral cone of the Earth without touching the umbra, resulting in only part of the moon going dark before turning a dark red or orange color. It will be the first of four penumbral lunar eclipses in , and one has not occurred since , according to AccuWeather.
