Wow! Full Moon To Rise On Christmas Day For The First Time In 38 Years

This year, the full moon will rise on Christmas
day making it the first time it will rise like that in
38 years.
A full moon will rise on Christmas Day this year –
the first time it will appear on December 25 in 38
years.
According to Fred Espenak, an eclipse and moon
expert with NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, the
event will happen at 6.11am on December 25.
That will give Santa Claus and his reindeer plenty of
light to guide them while giving out presents.
December’s full moon, which is the final one for
2015, is also know as the Full Cold Moon and the
Moon before Yule.
The event will cap-off a year of unusual lunar
activity including a total solar eclipse in March which
many were not able to see properly in the UK due to
cloud.
There was also a blood moon on September 28 –
created when the moon passes into the earth’s
shadow, creating a reddish tinge.
The event spread fear among fringe Christian
groups, fearing the end was nigh , but fears of the
Apocalypse proved unfounded.
