CBSN
The first full moon of the year, known as the Wolf Moon, will appear on Wednesday night and will peak on Thursday.
January's full moon will reach peak illumination at 12:54 p.m. ET on Thursday, according to NASA. It will look like a full moon until around midnight on Friday. The Old Farmer's Almanac details specific moonrise times for different ZIP codes across the United States.
There are no special tools needed to see the full moon; NASA says all you need to do is go outside and look up at the sky. A telescope or binoculars will magnify the moon and clarify details on its surface. Check local forecasts for detailed information on how clear the night sky will be.

Yangon — Myanmar's military leader lauded President Trump and asked him to lift sanctions, the ruling junta said Friday, after a tariff letter from the U.S. president that it has taken as Washington's first public recognition of its rule.

But the funding for rural radio and television stations — sometimes an area's sole source for emergency warnings and other news — has sparked concern among some Senate Republicans, especially after the recent devastating flash floods in Texas.
