The first full moon of January 2025 -- the Wolf Moon -- is here, according to NASA, and skygazers will get a little extra treat with it.

Witness a lunar occultation of both Mars and the Pleiades; plus, Mars reaches opposition and Venus and Saturn sit close together.

The moon performed a cosmic ballet with Mars this week. On Monday evening (Jan. 13), the Full Wolf Moon passed in front of Mars in what's known as a lunar occultation, during which another celestial object appears to disappear behind the moon from our vantage point on Earth.
