On December 30, 2020, Greeks experienced the last full moon of the year, protothema.gr reports.
This full moon was called “Full Night Moon” or “Cold Full Moon”, while its brightness reaches 100%. Nevertheless, as early as the night of Tuesday, December 29, we got the first taste, as the moon was almost full, with a brightness that reached almost 98%.
Known as the Cold Moon, the full December moon was this year’s 13th full moon. NASA says the moon will appear full from Monday evening through Thursday morning.
The Cold Moon has been called several names throughout centuries: Cold Full Moon, known by some Native American tribes as the Long Night Moon, or the Moon Before Yule (from the Anglo-Saxon lunar calendar).
According to NASA, the moon is also referred to as the Wolf Moon because some Native American tribes would hear packs of wolves howling amid the cold and deep snows of winter.
