That's a rare Full Cold Moon Saturday morning at 4:02 am EST. It will be the least illuminated Full Moon of the year at 99.82%. Not only that, it's also an Extreme Full Moon, meaning it is the most northerly moonrise and moonset at Full Moon until December 2043. It’s the result of an 18.6-year pattern that produces extreme Moon rise and set positions during a roughly two-year period known as a “major lunar standstill.” https://ow.ly/RGcG50UqgNy

Look Out for December’s Extreme Full Moon

The Full Moon on December 15, 2024, will rise and set at its most extreme northerly points on the horizon.

Here come the Geminids! Arguably one of the best meteor showers of the year competes this time around with the December Full Cold Moon. But even with a bright moon, you can still see some great meteors. The official peak is forecast for around 8 p.m. EST on December 13th. https://ow.ly/Aaq850Uqer2
