by The full Wolf Moon rises on Thursday, January 28, 2021.
January’s full Wolf Moon reaches peak illumination on Thursday, January 28, at 2:18 P.M. EST.
It’s thought that January’s full Moon came to be known as the Wolf Moon because wolves were more often heard howling at this time.
It was traditionally believed that wolves howled due to hunger during winter, but we know today that wolves howl for other reasons.
Howling and other wolf vocalizations are generally used to define territory, locate pack members, reinforce social bonds, and coordinate hunting.
