2025's first full moon will be the last of four consecutive supermoons, according to NASA. But it's a pretty eventful lunar phase. Monday's full moon has a lot going on, which would make anyone want to howl with delight, especially since this month's moon is known as the "wolf" moon.

The first full moon of 2025 will rise in the sky tonight, and this time it will have a companion. Mars will appear as a reddish dot alongside the Wolf Moon – which is what we call the full moon in January – in a special motivation for anyone who got a telescope for Christmas.

The moon performed a cosmic ballet with Mars this week. On Monday evening (Jan. 13), the Full Wolf Moon passed in front of Mars in what's known as a lunar occultation, during which another celestial object appears to disappear behind the moon from our vantage point on Earth.
