December's full moon, also known as the 'cold moon,' will shine bright in the night sky this Wednesday, peaking at 11:08 p.m. ET.
"There is no other planet in our solar system that has a moon quite like ours. It is unique in many, many ways, and we, as a society, the whole of humanity, are very fortunate to have it literally in our backyard."
This full moon has also been known as the "moon before Yule" in Europe, to mark the Yuletide festival, and as the "long night moon" by the Mohicans, due to its proximity to the winter solstice, the longest night of the year, which falls on December 21 this year, according to The Old Farmer's Almanac.The full moon will make its way across the sky starting at sunset.
The forecast for Wednesday evening will be partly cloudy skies in New York City, mostly clear skies in Los Angeles and mostly cloudy skies in Chicago, according to Allison Chinchar, CNN meteorologist. Today, NASA has successfully kicked off its Artemis program, which aims to establish the first lunar outpost and further explore the moon. The Artemis I mission launched November 16, sending the uncrewed Orion spacecraft on a 25.5-day journey to circumnavigate the moon, with an expected return date of December 11, four days after the full moon.
