The first full moon of 2023 _of the 13 that there will be in total throughout this year_ will occur this Friday, January 6, when the natural satellite moves to a position directly opposite the Sun.
It is believed that in ancient times, some tribes in the USA baptized this January moon as wolf moon why his appearance made all the wolves howlfascinated by the appearance of the satellite.
The satellite will rise at dusk and it will set at sunrise in the west the next morning, but that’s not the time to see it.
The best time to see the wolf moon (also called ice moon, cold moon either old moon) depends on the distance between the exact time of sunset and the exact time of moonrise. Ideally, the latter should occur right after the former, creating the spectacle of a full moon appearing in a still-illuminated twilight sky.
The Moon will be full at exactly 23:09 UTC on Friday, January 6, 2023 World Time. However, when it rises and sets, it is determined where it is seen from. For example, In Guayaquil (Ecuador), the full moon will be at 18:07details the portal time and date.
This January full moon will be the first of two micromoons of 2023. This means that the satellite will appear slightly smaller and less bright than a normal full moon. (YO)
