It is believed that January’s full moon came to be called the Wolf Moon because wolves were more likely to be heard howling at this time.

Juliet Meadows captured these stunning images of the Wolf Moon and shared them on the Worcester News Camera Club's Facebook page.

The moon was also particularly bright on Friday across Worcestershire because of the clear skies.
