LETCHWORTH AND BALDOCK: The first full moon of 2022, known as the wolf moon arrived last night [Monday, January 17

And Nub News would love to see your pictures of the moon above Hitchin.

Reader Ian Hall has already done so with his stunning shot of the Wolf Moon, tweeting us to say: "A fine moon over Baldock this morning."

Days are now starting to lengthen once again and by the next full moon in mid-February, daylight hours will have increased by almost an hour a day, which will coincide with the next full moon, set for February 16, known as the new moon.

There will be 12 full moons this year, two of which will be supermoons - full moons that are brighter and closer to earth than normal.

Along with dazzling in the night sky, a full moon is also known to impact human's mood, sleep and appetite when it appears.
