The first supermoon of 2026, known as the Wolf Moon, appeared on January 3, offering a brighter and larger lunar display. Occurring at perigee, it was approximately 30% brighter and 14% larger than a typical full moon. Visible in India shortly after sunset, it presented an orange-yellow hue near the horizon due to atmospheric scattering and the moon illusion. While peak illumination occurred in the afternoon, moonrise provided the most dramatic views. Weather conditions varied across India, with clearer skies in southern and western regions, while fog and clouds impacted visibility in the north.
