December’s Full Moon is the “Oak Moon”, “Cold Moon”, “Frost Moon”, “Long Night’s Moon”, “Moon Before Yule”, or “Margashira Poornima.
“Considered by many to be the best meteor shower in the heavens, the Geminids are known for producing up to 60 multicolored meteors per hour at their peak. The peak of the shower is on December 13 & 14, although some meteors should be visible from December 6 – 19. This year, a nearly new moon will provide an excellent viewing experience in the early morning hours. The radiant point for this shower will be in the constellation Gemini. Best viewing is usually to the east after midnight.”
