January full moon 2021: The Wolf Moon rises with winter constellations Space 1/27/2021 Jesse Emspak © Provided by Space The full moon of January, known as the Full Wolf Moon, arrives Thursday, Jan. 28, at 2:16 p.m. EST (1916 GMT). The full moon of January, called the Wolf Moon, will occur on Thursday, Jan. 28, at 2:16 p.m. EST (1916 GMT) according to NASA. The moon will be in the constellation Cancer, and rises just a few minutes before sunset.  Full moons happen when the moon is exactly on the opposite side of the Earth from the sun, so the entire Earth-facing side is illuminated. As it happens the rotation period of the moon is the same as its orbital period, so we always see the same side of our satellite. (This gives rise to another misnomer, the dark side of the moon. Both sides of the moon get the same amount of light, the far side of the moon is just one we don t happen to see from Earth).
