In pictures: Stunning Wolf Moon dazzles around the world

Skywatchers around the world have been treated to the first full Moon of 2022.

Each month, the full Moon has a different traditional name.

January's Wolf Moon is thought to refer to the time of year when wolves are more vocal, ahead of the February breeding season.

Photographers around the world captured Monday night's lunar event, alongside some stunning landscapes.
