A cold supermoon is on its way.
Not only will it be the last full moon of the year, but it's also a cold moon—which refers to the frigid temperatures typical of this time of year—and, finally, a supermoon.
The term supermoon refers to a full moon that occurs when our satellite is at perigee, the point at which its orbit brings it closest to our planet.
In other words, this means that the super cold moon will be particularly high in the sky.
Weather permitting, therefore, find an elevated place or meadow with an unobstructed view of the eastern horizon and enjoy the last moon show of the year.
