🌕✨ Did you catch the spectacular Wolf Moon lighting up the night over Wales? This celestial beauty, also known as the first supermoon of 2026, has been dazzling sky gazers with its brilliant light, making for some absolutely stunning photos!
Why is it called the Wolf Moon? Historically, wolves howled more this time of year, likely due to hunger, hence the unique name. This extraordinary moon will be visible from the 2nd to the 4th of January, rising in the eastern sky and journeying south as midnight approaches. If you’re an early bird, catch it just before sunrise too!
And it’s not just the moon putting on a show – Jupiter is also shining brightly, standing out against the moon’s glow. Don’t miss this enchanting planet in its full glory!
However, along with the frosty beauty comes cold weather warnings. The Met Office has cautioned that temperatures might plummet to a chilly -10°C in some regions of rural mid Wales overnight on Sunday. Look out for those clear skies, but be careful of the icy stretches and snowy patches.
Grab your camera, bundle up, and head outside for a glimpse of the Wolf Moon and bright Jupiter. Let’s see your best shots! 📸🌌#WolfMoon #WalesInFocus #SkyWatchers
