The full moon of December will coincide with the Winter Solstice and will make a close pass by the Aldebaran

 

The full moon of December is generally called the Full Cold Moon. According to NASA, the moon will arrive on 22nd of December and will be visible in the constellation Taurus. It will become full on 17:49 GMT and will rise 15 minutes after the sunset. The fact that the full moon will coincide with the winter solstice adds to its significance as this event will next occur in 2094. Skywatchers can observe the nearly-full moon making a close pass by the brightest star in Taurus (Aldebaran), one night before the full moon becomes full. The state where Aldebaran and the full moon are in the same celestial longitude is known as a ‘Conjunction’
