The Wolf Moon Is Seen Over Colombo, Sri Lanka.

The Wolf Moon is being seen over Colombo, Sri Lanka, on January 25, 2024. The term ''Wolf Moon'' is often used to refer to the full moon that occurs in January. Different cultures and traditions have various names for the full moons throughout the year, reflecting the characteristics of that particular month or the activities associated with it. The name ''Wolf Moon'' is thought to have Native American origins, attributed to the increased howling of wolves during the winter months. Wolves are known to howl more frequently in winter, possibly due to the mating season, leading to the January full moon being named the Wolf Moon because of the heightened wolf activity at this time. It is important to remember that different cultures and regions may have their own names for full moons, so the term ''wolf moon'' might not be recognized universally. Moreover, these names are more connected to folklore and tradition than to scientific significance. (Photo by Thilina Kaluthotage/NurPhoto)
