The first full moon of the new year will be a 'micromoon,' with the moon at its farthest point from Earth.
January's full moon will be slightly smaller than average because the moon is at the farthest point from Earth in its orbit. The moon's path around the planet is elliptical. At its nearest approach, called perigee, it is 225,291 miles away. At its farthest distance, called apogee, it is 251,910 miles away.
The"wolf" nickname is believed to reference the fact that wolves are typically active this time of year. The names for the full moons are thought to come from a mixture of Native American, Anglo-Saxon and German month names, according to Time and Date .— Who owns the moon?
