December has brought us some pretty epic celestial events – most notably the cosmic miracle known as the Christmas Star – but there’s one more sight you’ll want to catch before you say goodbye to 2020. December’s Full Cold Moon is rising on the evening of Tuesday, Dec. 29, and it’s going to be pretty special. Not only is it the final full moon of the year, but it’s also known for its high trajectory across the sky, which means it’ll sit above the horizon for longer than any other full moon.
