The First Supermoon of 2018 Arrives on New Year's Day

The new year will be off to a celestial start with the appearance of a bigger and brighter supermoon — this time nicknamed the "wolf moon."
The supermoon is a nickname of its own, referring to a full moon that appears larger and more luminous due to its increased proximity to the Earth. The wolf moon, however, refers to the first full moon of the new year, which so happens to fall on New Year's Day this time around, according to NASA.
