Here’s something a bit interesting about tonight’s full moon. This is the first full moon of 2010, and it is also known as the wolf moon, a name given by Native Americans and the notion that wolves howled at the full moon on winter nights. What makes this an interesting full moon, is that it will also arrive at perigee (it’s closest point to Earth on its non-circular orbit) at 3:04 a.m. CST at a distance of 221,577 mi. from Earth.  So this is the biggest full moon of 2010. 

Each month has their own full moon name. 

Just thought it was worth passing on – Have a good weekend!
