Reporter, HuffPost

The first full moon of the new decade did not disappoint.

The so-called “wolf moon” rose high in the sky Friday night to provide stargazers with quite the celestial treat.

Photographers from New York to northern England snapped the sight, which in some places around the world (but not the U.S.) was also visible as a penumbral lunar eclipse.

WOLF MOON 2020: With a bit of quick footwork I was able to get three variations as the moon was rising behind Glastonbury Tor. It gradually took on more of a peachy glow as the sun was setting in the opposite direction. #Glastonbury #Avalon #Somerset #FullMoon2020 #WolfMoon #UK pic.twitter.com/GDsePNYFfZ
