The full Wolf Moon rises to the zenith tonight and waltzes in front of Mars to occult the red planet in the constellation Gemini. Mars enters its opposition on January 15th, when Earth's orbital position is closest to Mars. #WolfMoon #MoonAfterYule #FullMoon #Moon #Mars #RedPlanet #Planet #Occultation #Occult #NightSky #Astronomy
