It’s almost time to let out a big howl. The first full moon of 2021 nicknamed the “wolf moon” will be shining brightly in the night sky on Thursday, Jan. 28.
The wolf moon will officially reach its fullest phase at 2:16 p.m. Eastern time Thursday, so it will be 98% full Wednesday night, 100% full Thursday night and 99% full Friday night.
In case you’re wondering about the origin of the January moon’s scary-sounding nickname, many believe the “wolf moon” was coined by Native American tribes that would often hear packs of hungry wolves howling on cold and snowy nights in the middle of winter.

Khalil Wheeler-Weaver displayed an unnerving lack of emotion when he exited an Essex County courtroom last December in handcuffs.
Three years earlier, the Orange man killed his first victim at the start of a frenzied 88-day killing spree across North Jersey that ended only after the friends and family of one Montclair victim conceived a fake online profile to lure him to police.
A two-month trial in the fall of 2019 presented more than 40 witnesses, Wheeler-Weaver s incriminating Google searches on how to make homemade poison and a videotaped police interview where he was caught in lie after lie about his exploits. Two hours was all a jury needed on Dec. 19, 2019 to convict him of killing three women and attempting to murder a fourth who narrowly escaped the same fate.
