December’s Extreme Full Moon
The Full Moon on December 15 will rise and set at its most extreme northerly points on the horizon—the result of a once-every-18.6 years “major lunar standstill.”
Our Interactive Night Sky Map simulates the sky above Cabo Noir. The Moon and planets have been enlarged slightly for clarity. On mobile devices, tap to steer the map by pointing your device at the sky. Need some help?
