For the last time in 2020, a Full Moon glowed brightly in the night sky after rising in the early hours of December 30. This was the 13th Full Moon of 2020, averaging 12 in a calendar year.
Two full moons rose in October, with the rare celestial phenomenon of a blue moon rising on October 31.
Most months see at least one Full Moon, but sometimes there are two, and the second in a calendar month is called the Blue Moon.
This occurs when the Moon takes 29.5 days to complete one orbit, so sometimes more than one can fit in a month if the time is right.
Now the thirteenth full moon of the year has risen; the next time we’ll see 13 in a year is in 2023.
Will the Cold Moon rise again tonight?
Although the peak of the Full Moon, when it is at its absolute maximum, has passed, with the one that takes place at 03:38 this morning, the Moon will continue to appear at its maximum.
According to NASA, the Cold Moon will still look full for several days.
The space agency said that this Moon “will appear full for about three days at this time, from Monday night to Thursday morning.”

Clear skies over parts of the UK will make the Moon visible, although it will still be easy to spot in the case of clouds.
Tonight’s Met Office weather report said: “Rain and sleet clearing from south-east England.
“Showers or longer periods of rain and sleet in the north and northwest and turn to snow on the hills. Dry and cold elsewhere.”
