January's Supermoon and Quadrantid Meteor Shower Kick Off the Year
The first full moon of 2026, the wolf moon, will be a supermoon and coincide with the Quadrantid meteor shower, making for a spectacular but challenging viewing experience due to the moon's brightness. The event offers a great opportunity for sky watchers to observe Earth's closest celestial neighbor and get excited about upcoming NASA missions like Artemis II. The Quadrantids will peak on January 3-4, with other meteor showers and full moons scheduled throughout the year.
