The Wolf Moon is the first full moon of 2025 and it will be at its peak tonight. The Wolf Moon will reach full lunar glow at 3:27 p.m.MT/4:27p.m. CT.
For three days the moon will be full beginning Sunday evening until Wednesday morning.
January's Wolf Moon name originates from the Maine Farmers' Almanac which published Native American names for each full moon. According to NASA it came from "packs of wolves heard howling outside the villages amid the cold and deep snows of winter."
