The first full Moon of the year is set to illuminate the UK skies on 3 January bringing with it some welcome dazzle to the post-Christmas dip.
Also known as the Wolf Moon, it will be the fourth supermoon in a row following October’s Harvest Moon, November’s Beaver Moon and the Cold Moon in December.
Viewing is dependent on the weather, but hopefully with largely clear skies it will be a celestial treat to look forward to as the fairy lights are being packed away.
If you miss it, the next chance to see the Moon so large and bright in the sky won’t be until November, although there is the extra treat of two full Moons in May making 2026 a rare year with 13 instead of 12 full Moons.
