The next full moon will be the Wolf Moon, and will peak on Monday, Jan. 1.
To casual observers, the moon will still appear full the day prior and after the peak.
January's full moon will be a "supermoon" as the moon arrives at perigee close to reaching its fullest phase.

"The full Moon will lose some of its usual luster on Friday night as a dusky shadow creeps across the lunar disk. It's a penumbral lunar eclipse, visible from parts of every continent except Australia.
The uneven dimming of the Moon will be easy to see if you know when to look."

Space Weather says, "The Harvest Moon is supposed to be a uniformly bright orb. This year it wasn't. The Harvest Moon of Sept. 16, 2016, passed through the outskirts of Earth's shadow, dimming one side of the lunar disk, a 'penumbral lunar eclipse'."

According to Wikipedia, "A supermoon is the coincidence of a full moon or a new moon with the closest approach the Moon makes to the Earth on its elliptical orbit, resulting in the largest apparent size of the lunar disk as seen from Earth."

| September Harvest Moon Photo by Jerry Pickard |
The eastern light our spires touch at morning,
The light that slants upon our western doors at evening,
The twilight over stagnant pools at batflight,
Moon light and star light, owl and moth light,
Glow-worm glowlight on a grassblade.
O Light Invisible, we worship Thee!

"There is something haunting in the light of the moon; it has all the dispassionateness of a disembodied soul, and something of its inconceivable mystery."
(Joseph Conrad (1857-1924), Polish-born British novelist. Marlow, in Lord Jim, ch. 24 (1900).)
