Rare, bright full moon on Christmas Day
The next Christmas full moon won’t come around until 2034, NASA says. Nonetheless to watch full moon at its fullest you will have to be awake till early morning. But Friday will be the first full moon on Christmas since 1977, when the original “Star Wars” premiered, and it won’t happen again until 2034, NBC News reported. A report by the Weather.com says that the full moon will peak at 4:11 a.m. Christmas day.

That said, here are the years of some “almost” Christmas full moons: 2026 and 2045, when the actual full moon will fall on December 23; and 2042, when it will fall on December 26. This moon is called Full Cold Moon because of its full size and the timing of the start of winter. The last one was in 1977, and that’s because of the vagaries of our calendar and a lunar cycle known for nearly 2,500 years.
To watch the full moon online, the Slooh Community Observatory is hosting a webcast starting at 7 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on Christmas Eve. As you gaze up at the Christmas moon, take note that NASA has a spacecraft now orbiting Earth’s moon. A still very full-looking moon will rise at 5:34 that evening.
The LRO is said to have gathered a “treasure trove of data” by utilizing seven powerful instruments.
LRO is managed by NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, for the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters in Washington.
