🌕Looks like we are all going to get”Mooned” BIG time tomorrow night…

2026 begins with a pretty cool sky moment. This Saturday night, January 3rd, the year’s first full moon — the Wolf Moon — will rise, and it’s also a supermoon, meaning it’ll look a bit larger and noticeably brighter than usual.

Now ss if that weren’t enough, you’ll also notice a bright glow in the sky not to far from the moon and that will be Jupiter.

So if the skies stay clear, tomorrow is a great excuse to step outside, look up, and start the year with something simple and beautiful overhead. 🌕✨
