Published December 11, 2019
We will see the last full moon of the year and the decade tonight, December 11, 2019, into tomorrow, December 12, 2019. The moon will rise at 4:50 p.m on December 11 in Louisiana in the east-northeastern sky. It will then move west across the sky, peaking at approximately midnight the morning of December 12, before setting in the west just after 7 a.m.
The weather forecast for December 11th into the 12th calls for a clear sky with temperatures in the mid-to-low-40's. Perfect weather to bundle up and head outside to take a look.
The full moon of December is sometimes called the “Full Cold Moon”, “Full Long Nights Moon”, and the “Oak Moon” among other names.
- Full Cold Moon - The cold of Winter.
- Full Long Nights Moon - It remains in the sky longer than any other full Moon of the year.
- Full Oak Moon - People must find the strength of the oak tree within themselves to survive the trials of winter.
