From The Old Farmer's Almanac: "January is the month of the Full Wolf Moon. It appeared when wolves howled in hunger outside the villages. It is also known as the Old Moon. To some Native American tribes, this was the Snow moon, but most applied that name to the next full Moon, in February."
According to space.com: "The smallest full moon of 2014 rises in the night sky tonight (Jan. 15), and there's some interesting science behind the lunar sight... A 'Minimoon,' like the one rising this week, is a full moon at apogee, or its farthest point from the planet."
