Full Cold Moon

Space.com has an article by Jesse Emspak about the last one of 2017:

When the Full Cold Moon rises on Sunday night, 3 December 2017, it will also be the first (and last) "supermoon" of 2017. Supermoons happen when a full moon approximately coincides with the moon's perigee, or a point in its orbit at which it is closest to Earth. This makes the moon appear up to fourteen percent larger and thirty percent brighter than usual.
What is a supermoon? While the moon's average distance is nearly three hundred thousand miles from Earth, its orbit isn't perfectly circular, so that distance varies a small amount. When it reaches apogee, or its farthest distance from Earth, on 19 December 2017, it will be 252,651 miles away. That's a difference of just over thirty thousand miles, but the moon's distance from Earth can vary more than that.
The perigee for December's supermoon won't even be the closest this year; that happened on 25 May, when the not-so-super new moon was a quarter million miles away from Earth. That date didn't coincide with a full moon, though, so it didn't qualify as a supermoon.
Supermoons can appear thirty percent brighter and up to fourteen percent larger than typical full moons. Supermoons don't happen every month because the moon's orbit changes orientation as the Earth goes around the sun. So the long axis of the moon's elliptical path around the Earth points in different directions, meaning that a full (or new) moon won't always happen at apogee or perigee.
In New York City, the full moon will rise the evening of 3 December 2017 at 1659 local time. Moonset will be the morning of 4 December 2017 at 0750, according to timeanddate.com. The sun sets at 1628 on 3 December, so the full moon and the sun will not be visible at the same time, at least in New York.
If you want to see both in the sky at once, you need to go below the equator. In Wellington, New Zealand, the full moon happens at 4:46 a.m. local time on the morning of 4 December, and sets at 0610, half an hour after the sun rises at 0541.
Look for the full moon in the constellation of Taurus. Though the moon is officially full on 3 December, it will still appear full to the casual observer the night before and after.
As it did in November, the full moon will pass in front of, or "occult," the bright star Aldebaran. This event will be visible from northern Canada, Alaska, eastern Russia, Kazakhstan, much of China, and as far south as Bangladesh.
In the continental US, residents of Washington state can catch the occultation; People in Seattle will see the predawn moon pass in front of Aldebaran at 6:09 a.m. local time, reappearing at 0646. In Boise, Idaho, the occultation will start at 7:15 a.m., but skywatchers there won't get to see Aldebaran reappear from behind the moon, as the occultation ends after the moon sets at 0743.
In Anchorage, Alaska, Aldebaran disappears behind the moon at 0438 local time and reappears at 0532. The moon becomes full soon after that at 0646 local time, setting at 09:20. Canadian observers in Vancouver will see the occultation start at 0606 and end at 0646. (The full moon is at 0746.)
Observers in Asia will see more of the occultation. In Beijing, China, the event starts at 1954 local time and ends at 1637, better timed for those who'd rather not get up too early.
How the Full Cold Moon got its names
According to the Old Farmer's Almanac, the name of the full moon in December is Full Cold Moon, and, given the weather in December (at least in the Northern Hemisphere), that's not a surprise.
This is also reflected in the names from native peoples of North America. According to the Ontario Native Literacy Project, the Ojibwe called December's full moon "Mnidoons Giizis," the "Big Spirit Moon" or "Blue Moon." For the Ojibwe, it marked the 12th calendar month, and was a time for healing. The Haida of the Pacific Northwest called it the "Snow Moon," or "Ta'aaw Kungaay."
Among the Hopi, whose ceremonial life revolved around the lunar and solar cycles, the lunation just before the winter solstice was the "Sparrow-Hawk" moon, as noted by Janet Sharp of Washburn University in her study of Hopi mathematical concepts and teaching.
In the Southern Hemisphere, December is summertime. The Māori of New Zealand described the lunar months in November to December as Hakihea, or "birds are now sitting in their nests," according to the Encyclopedia of New Zealand.
In China, the traditional lunar calendar calls the December lunation the 10th month. Called Yángyuè, or Yang month, it's named for the yang ― the masculine, positive principle of Taoism familiar to Westerners as part of the yin and yang.

Rico says he looks forward (and up) to it.
