The first full moon of 2026 has lit up skies across Scotland.<\/p>\n

Also known as the Wolf moon, it is the fourth supermoon in a row, following October’s Harvest Moon, November’s Beaver Moon and the Cold Moon in December.<\/p>\n

It is called a supermoon because it looks larger, caused by its elliptical orbit bringing it closer to the Earth at certain times of the year.<\/p>\n

The January full moon is often known as the Wolf Moon in the Northern Hemisphere because it marks the time of year when it was believed that wolves howled more, as there was less food around.<\/p>\n

There will not be another chance to see a moon so large and bright in the sky until November 2026.<\/p>\n

BBC Weather Watchers have been capturing images of the moon as it reached its peak.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
