The moon will be in its Full moon phase. Which means the Moon and the Sun will be just opposite to each other having the Earth between them. This position of the Moon will make its surface fully illuminated by the Sun and will look like a white disk in the night sky as seen from the viewers on the Earth. The full moon usually rise after the Sun completely sets in the West direction as seen from the Earth. Native Americans used to call the full moon of January “The Wolf Moon”. Because in this month a pack of wolves used to howl outside their camps. The name given by them was an identification of the Month of the year as that time there were no calendars or mobile phones to check the month or date of the year. So, when Wolves used to howl they could judge the Month of the year.
