Southwold Suffolk England UK. New Moon, known as the Wolf Moon rises late afternoon 10 January 2020. The full moon is the lunar phase when the Moon appears fully illuminated from Earth's perspective. This occurs when Earth is located between the Sun and the Moon (more exactly, when the ecliptic longitudes of the Sun and Moon differ by 180°).[3] This means that the lunar hemisphere facing Earth – the near side – is completely sunlit and appears as a circular disk. The full moon occurs roughly once a month. Delighted stargazers captured stunning images on Friday evening as the first full moon of 2020, also known as the 'wolf moon', coincided with a lunar eclipse. Astronomical enthusiasts witnessed the celestial event, also known as a penumbral lunar eclipse, with the moon passing through the earth's shadow. The phenomenon, which began at 5pm, saw the moon move into the Earth's penumbra, or outer shadow, causing the earth's natural satellite to look darker than normal.
