The recent wolf moon briefly became visible through the clouds and I was able to capture these images. They’re not the best since I was scrambling around to get pictures before the clouds covered it again but they will do.

This moon was classified as a supermoon since to the casual observer it appeared to be full on both the night before and after its peak. Additionally, supermoons are also so-called because the moon is at its closest point to the earth, making it appear extra-bright.

The wolf moon earned its name because wolves don’t hibernate and in ancient times their howling would have been especially noticeable. Images of wolves howling at the moon are iconic, especially of the north.

There will be two other supermoons this year on November 24 and December 24.

Happy Tuesday
