FULL WOLF MOON at exactly 5 a.m. CST on January 26, 2013
Saturday, January 26, 2013 - 11:38 p.m. EST - The full moon of January is called the Wolf Moon. Its Cree name is Gishepapiwatekimumpizun, meaning "moon when the old fellow spreads the brush." Other names are Moon After Yule, Ice Moon and Old Moon. In Hindi it is known as Paush Poornima. Its Sinhala (Buddhist) name is Duruthu. The full moon rises around sunset and sets around sunrise, the only night in the month when the moon is in the sky all night long. The rest of the month, the moon spends at least some time in the daytime sky. ~www.space.com
      When I came downstairs this morning around 4:30 a.m., I could see the moon shining in the western facing windows.  It was so bright and gorgeous!  So, I decided to take a picture with my telephoto lens.  As you can see, it came out perfectly.  later, djb
