We're in for a celestial treat to start the new year. This weekend will be the first full moon — and first supermoon — of 2026.
Skywatchers across the Northern Hemisphere are in for a treat tonight as the first full Moon of 2026, famously called the Wolf Moon, rises in all its glory.
The Wolf moon is the first of three supermoons in 2026. According to previous Desert Sun reporting, the supermoon is a phenomenon that occurs when a full moon is at or near its closest point to Earth, making the moon appear larger and brighter than usual.
