Cold Moon: A Unique Celestial Event

Illustration for: Cold Moon: A Unique Celestial Event

This moon stands out with its inflated apparent size and bright radiation due to its proximity to the closest point in its orbit, making it appear about 10% larger compared to regular full moons, according to Al Arabiya channel. The name “Cold Moon” is derived from American traditions that associate full moon names with seasons, reflecting the cold weather during this period in the Northern Hemisphere. This event marks the conclusion of the 2025 full moons, before the “Wolf Moon,” the first full moon of 2026, appears on January 3rd.
