Hey, Space Placers!
2014 Full Moon Rising Over Winter Wonderland
Greg Redfern
The Full Frost Moon happens tonight, making it the first Full Moon of Winter and the last for 2023, so take a peak tonight.
From Sky and Telescope.org:
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 26
■ Full Moon tonight (exact at 7:33 p.m. EST). Now shining above the feet of Gemini in the evening, the Moon forms a deeper triangle with Capella and Aldebaran than it did last night.
The Moon passes its very closest to the zenith around 1 a.m. tonight. For the record, it goes just a trace closer to straight overhead than it did last night or the night before.
And from NASA:
The full Moon after next will be Tuesday evening, December 26, 2023, at 7:33 PM EST. This will be on Wednesday in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and for most of Eurasia, Africa, and Australia. Many commercial calendars are based on UTC and will show this full Moon on Wednesday. The Moon will appear full for 3 days around this time, from Monday evening to Thursday morning.
