On the 14th (local time), the "Wolf Moon" was observed in parts of North America and Western Africa, coinciding with the occultation of Mars. The Wolf Moon signifies the first full moon of the year, while occultation refers to the phenomenon where a nearby celestial body obscures a more distant one. The lunar-Mars occultation lasted for about 1 hour. The next lunar-Mars occultation is expected to be on Feb. 9.
