Super Wolf Moon Hockey Puck

Did you look to the night sky on Sunday, January 20, 2019 to see an amazingly large and brilliant full moon. This is the Super Wolf Moon, also referred to as a supermoon. The full moon in January is called a wolf moon, because legend has it that wolves were hungry and active during colonial times right after the first of the year. You might hear them howling in the clear night with their silhouettes visible atop the snow cover. The reason for the unusually large size is that the Moon just happens to be at its closest approach to the Earth at the time of the full moon. That coincidence has the nickname of supermoon, truly a super moon. There were multiple supermoons in 2019, others occurring on February 19 and March 21. Enjoy this artistic interpretation as a souvenir keepsake of the Super Wolf Moon event.
