'Full Cold Moon' to rise on Christmas day

Dec 23, 2015 6:45 am

Charlie Holmes is reporting in The Daily Mail Friday will bring the first full moon to rise on Christmas morning since 1977. Holmes writes that according to the Metonic Cycle, a full moon should fall on the same day every 19 years, but it has been 38 years since the last full moon on Christmas day. "...It’s just a fluke of the calendar,” said NASA’s Noah Petro. CBS News reports the full moon will reach its peak at 6:11 a.m., Eastern Standard Time on Dec. 25. The phenomenon will not occur again until 2034. The final full moon of the year is known as the "Full Cold Moon" since it coincides with the beginning of winter.
