The tough thing about assembling this January 2013 full moon gallery was choosing from among the many wonderful photos posted by EarthSky Facebook friends. Many thanks to all who posted!

moon_full_1-26-2013_Guy_Newlan_Orlando_FL — January 2013 full moon as seen by EarthSky Facebook friend Guy Newlan in Orlando, Florida.

moon_full_january_1-26-2013_Bob_LeClair_Ponce_inlet_florida — January 2013 full moon as captured by EarthSky Facebook friend Bob LeClair in Ponce Inlet, Florida.

moon_full_1-26-2013_Tonia_Coleman_Klein_Evans_GA — January 2013 full moon as seen by our friend Tonia Coleman Klein in Evans, Georgia.

moon_full_january_1-26-2013_Fernando_Alvarenga_San_Salvador — January 2013 full moon as captured by EarthSky Facebook friend Fernando Alvarenga in San Salvador. He said he was standing in his backyard when he took this photo.

moon_full_january_1-26-2013_Jean-Baptiste_Feldmann_Brittany_France — January 2013 full moon as captured by EarthSky Facebook Jean-Baptiste Feldmann in Brittany, France.

moon_full_january_1-26-2013_Lance_Bullion_Baton_Rouge_La_2 — January 2013 full moon as captured by EarthSky Facebook friend Lance Bullion in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Lance must have caught the moon low in the sky, when it looks more orange in color. Why does it look orange? Because, when it’s low in the sky, you’re seeing the moon through more atmosphere than when it’s overhead.

moon_full_january_1-26-2013_Rick_Trommater_Tampa_Bay_FL — January 2013 full moon as captured by EarthSky Facebook friend Rick Trommater in Tampa Bay, Florida. View larger to notice that the edge of the moon appears wavy. This effect is caused by Earth’s atmosphere, too.

moon_full_january_1-26-2013_Rick_Trommater_Tampa_Bay_Fl_helio — Our friend Rick Trommater caught this image of the January 2013 full moon, too. Both of his images (see above) have a dynamic quality! Thanks, Rick.
