A Moon to howl over 🐺⁣ ⁣ January’s full Moon, also known as the Wolf Moon, reaches peak illumination on January 6.⁣ ⁣ In the 1930s, the Maine Farmers’ Almanac began publishing Native American names for full Moons, leading to widespread usage of the names.⁣ ⁣ In this image, our Orion spacecraft catches an up-close glimpse of the Moon as it prepares for a return trajectory correction during the Artemis I mission.⁣ ⁣ With #Artemis missions, we will establish a long-term human presence on and around the Moon.⁣ ⁣ Image Description: The Orion spacecraft stands out against the blackness of space. The capsule gleams with colors of silver and blue. The word "NASA" is obscured by the shadow of one of the spacecraft's solar arrays. The Moon shines bright in shades of gray to the right of Orion.⁣ ⁣ Credit: NASA⁣ ⁣ #Moon #Orion #LunarMission #FullMoon #MoonPhotography #Spacecraft #NASA #STEM #WolfMoon
