WOLF MOON TONIGHT!

Tonight's full moon will be the biggest and brightest full moon of the year. It will appear 14 percent wider and 30 percent brighter. As the first full moon of the year, it is known as the wolf moon, a name bestowed up on it by Native Americans.

Not to be outshone, Mars will also appear at its biggest and brightest in the past 780 days. It won't be of wolf moon proportions, but by way of comparison, astronomers say it will appear nearly as bright as Sirius, the star with the highest apparent brightness in the night sky.
