Full Wolf Supermoon, 2 January 2026.

Taken on 2 January 2026 at 19:44 U.S. Eastern Standard Time.



The lunar halo of mackerel clouds, darkly dappled by the spaces between, keeps the moon from being reduced to just another circle of warm white light in the electric constellation of the apartment complex—which has usually been the effect when I’ve tried to take a picture. (That startling peacock-blue color was a happy artifact of my cheap-ass flip-phone camera!)

You can see how the moon continues an arc formed by the walkway lights—somewhat resembling the head of Scorpius, with the stairway light standing in for Antares.

The moon was bright last night and looks so nice with the new snow cover.
