Tonight's full moon will be the biggest and brightest full moon of the year. It offers anyone with clear skies an opportunity to identify easy-to-see features on the moon.

This being the first full moon of 2010, it is also known as the wolf moon, a moniker dating back to Native American culture and the notion that hungry wolves howled at the full moon on cold winter nights. Each month brings another full moon name.

I can hear the wolves howling already

I did see this tonight. I was driving in it.. And was amazed but it's beauty. I'm glad I got to see this when I missed the Blue moon on New Years.

Yes, it certainly was bright. And off in the distance, I heard the echoes of wolves howling. Wonder what message they were bringing ?

Any ideas on the message, Amor or  Midnite Astrologer ?

What was even more neat was how it seemed so close that you felt like you could reach up and touch it. I did notice within an hour or two of seeing the moon like this it was back to its normal size, and higher up in the sky. So it was a nice treat to of been able to see the moon that way.
