This year’s Christmas eve night will be unlike other years since 1977 as it will be graced and shined by a bright full moon, for the first time in almost 40 years. According to NASA, this December’s full moon, known as the “Full Cold Moon“, will reach its peak at 6.11 a.m. EST on Christmas day, and it will not happen again until 2034.
