Not only will the moon be full, as it is every 28 days, but it will also be in perigee, which means it's what we call a 'supermoon.'

According to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory at California Institute of Technology:

Viewers in North and South America, as well as those in western parts of Europe and Africa, will be able to watch one of the sky's most dazzling shows on Jan. 20, 2019, when the Sun, Earth and Moon align at 9:12 p.m. PST, creating a total lunar eclipse. The full moon will also be at its closest point to Earth in its orbit, called perigee. While at perigee, the Moon appears slightly bigger and brighter from our perspective on Earth, so it's often referred to as a "supermoon."

A USA Today report notes that the lunar eclipse will begin with a "little notch" seemingly taken out of the full moon at about 6:30pm PST, followed by partial eclipse at 7:30pm and maximum lunar eclipse at 9:12pm PST.

Brian Murphy, director of the Holbomb Observatory and Planetarium in Indiana told USA Today, "The moon starts to enter into the Earth's shadow in a portion called the umbra when the sun is totally blocked out. Earth is moving from right to left through the shadow."

The report explains that: Although the moon is in the Earth's shadow, some sunlight still reaches the moon. The sunlight passes through Earth's atmosphere, which causes our atmosphere to filter out most of the blue light.

Some sunlight reaches the Earth's atmosphere, which envelops the moon and gives it the rich color.

But why is this month's full moon referred to as a 'wolf' moon? (Image: Creative Commons-Pixabay)

According to an explanation in the Old Farmer's Almanac, Native Americans tracked the months and seasons using the moon, and they commonly called January's full moon the "Wolf" moon because it occurred around the time when wolves could be heard "howling in hunger outside their villages."
