A NASA photographer captured the full “wolf” moon rising over the Lincoln Memorial and Memorial Bridge on Jan. 13, 2025.
The Maine Farmers’ Almanac began publishing Native American names for full moons in the 1930s. Over time, these names have become widely known and used. According to this almanac, the full moon in January is called the Wolf Moon, from the packs of wolves heard howling outside the villages amid the cold and deep snows of winter.

缅因农民年鉴(Maine Farmers’ Almanac)于20世纪30年代开始公布美洲原住民对满月的命名。这些名称随着时间的推移逐渐广为人知并被广泛使用。根据该年鉴,1月的满月被称为“狼月”(Wolf Moon),这一名称来源于冬季严寒和厚雪覆盖的村庄外,成群的狼被听见在夜晚嚎叫的景象。
