The first full moon of 2010

The moon tonight is
full and bright, the biggest
and first of the year.

The first full moon of the year is called the wolf moon. According to an article by Robert Roy Britt, Biggest and Brightest Full Moon of 2010 Tonight, the moon tonight is 14% wider and 30% brighter then "lesser" full moons. In addition, to the left of the full moon look for Mars, which appears to be a red star; however, Mars won't twinkle like most stars.
