Full 'Wolf' Moon Lights Up Sky Overnight

BOSTON (CBS) - You could say it was a brilliant start to the New Year.

There was a full Wolf Moon over New England Monday night.

It appeared 14-percent larger and 30-percent brighter.

It's referred to as the Wolf Moon because wolves howl more frequently in the first month of the year.

This was also a Supermoon.

Another Supermoon can be seen January 31.  That will also feature a total lunar eclipse.
