Friday’s Wolf Moon rising over Battery Creek was, in a word, spectacular. The moon looked 10 times as large as normal, and its color, once it cleared the horizon, became a brilliant yellow fading to a crystal clear, silvery white. According to the Farmer’s Almanac, Wolf Moon is the first full moon of the year. It originated in pre-Christian Europe after villagers noted the increased activity of howling wolves during first full moon on a cold winter’s night.
