A composite image of a Super Blood Wolf Moon as seen from Emsworth, Hampshire.
The full-moon earns its super moon status by being positioned slightly closer to the Earth than usual, and appearing slightly bigger and brighter than normal. It is termed a blood moon for obvious reasons, giving off a red glow as it slipped into Earth’s shadow. And as it occurred in January, when wolves used to howl in hunger outside villages, it earned the name wolf moon. The phenomenon began around 3:30am and continued as the moon was setting until around 7:15am.
