The Cold Moon

This morning I rose early as usual.  I wanted to make sure I saw the December full moon.  I guess a reflection put the green cast on the tree.  December's Cold Moon rose on Friday night. It is both the longest full moon of the year and the last before the winter solstice on Tuesday, December 21.

After Tuesday, days will slowly get  longer and nights shorter.  Cold Moon is the most common name for our last full moon of 2021.  Native Americans also called it Long Night Moon because it shines on the longest nights of the year.  If you hurry you can go out and view the Cold Moon.
