Don't miss the Wolverine Moon lighting up the sky tonight

Song Minh |

The first full moon of 2022, called the Wolverine Moon, will light up the sky tonight, January 17.

According to the Old Farmer's Almanac, the name Wolf moon comes from the fact that people in American ethnic groups often hear the long, long, thundering of the Wolves every night near the full moon at this time of year.

The moon will peak at 23:51. According to NASA, to see the Wolverine Moon, look above the horizon in an east-northeast direction. Close observation can detect a bright star near the full moon. That is Pollux, a star in the constellation Song Zi (Gemini).

NASA also notes that both Mars and Mars will be able to see them, but they will be opposite the moon on the southwest horizon.

There are many names for the first full moon of the year other than the Wolverine, including the Old Moon and the Ice Moon.

Indian followers call it Shakambhari Purnima, marking the last day of Shakambari Navratri - an 8-day festival honoring the goddess Shakambhari. People in India often bathe in sacred waters during this time.

Assiniboins living in the Northern Great Plains call it the Mid-Autumn Festival because it appears around mid-winter, according to the Old Farmer's Almanac.

The Algonquin are located northeast of the Great Lakes in the US, calling it "squochee kesos," which means "the sun is not strong enough to melt ice". Cheyenne in the Great plains call it the "deep cold moon".

Super moon

There will be 2 supermoons in 2022. Definitions for supermoons may vary, but the term often refers to a brighter round moon and closer to Earth than usual, and therefore appears larger in the night sky.

Some astronomers say the phenomenon occurs when the moon is within about 90% of its circumference - the closest it can get to Earth in orbit. According to that definition, the full moon of June and the full moon of July will be considered a supermoon.

Here is a list of the remaining full moons for 2022.

- February 16: snow moon

- March 18: Worm Moon

- September 16: pink moon

- September 16: Flower moon

- September 14: Strawberry moon

- September 13: Thunder moon

- 11.8: Turgeon moon

- September 10: Harvest moon

- October 9: Hunter's moon

- November 8:ost Moon

- December 7: Cold moon

Although these are common names associated with the full moon every month, each name has a different meaning across the indigenous tribes of Chau My.

Prime time and menstruation

There will be two full-term fastings and two partial fastings in 2022, according to The Old Farmer's Almanac.

partial solar ecsts occur when the moon passes in front of the sun, but only partially blocks its light. Wear proper sun glasses to watch the sunset safely, as sunlight can harm your eyes.

People in South America, the southeastern Pacific and the South could see a partial sunset on April 30. Partial fasting on October 25 will be observed in Greenland, Iceland, Europe, northeast Africa, the Middle East, West Asia, India and western China.

The real thing happened at the time of the full moon, when the sun, Earth and the moon were in line, and the moon fell on the Earth's shadow.

When the full moon moves into the Earth's shadow, it will dark, but it will not disappear. The sunlight passing through the Earth's atmosphere lights up the moon impressively, making it red - that is why it is often called the "Blood Moon".

won't be seen in Europe, Africa, South America and North America (except for the Northwest region) on May 15-16.

Another fully menistic feature will also appear in Asia, Australia, the Pacific, South America and North America on November 8.
