The Wolf Moon Is Seen Over Colombo, Sri Lanka.
A composite image of the Wolf Moon is rising over Colombo, Sri Lanka, on January 25, 2024. The Wolf Moon is the name often given to the full moon that occurs in January. Various cultures and traditions have different names for the full moons throughout the year, reflecting the specific characteristics or activities of each month. The term ''Wolf Moon'' is thought to originate from Native American traditions, where wolves are more commonly heard howling during the winter months. The increased howling, possibly related to the mating season, is leading to the January full moon being named the Wolf Moon due to the heightened wolf activity at this time. It is important to recognize that different cultures and regions may have their own names for full moons, and the term ''wolf moon'' might not be recognized universally. Moreover, these names are based more on folklore and tradition than on scientific significance. (Photo by Thilina Kaluthotage/NurPhoto)
