Glorious final full moon gives 2012 a glowing send-off

12/28/2012

Just because you've already ripped open all your presents, gobbled up the Christmas cookies and scarfed down the last of the candy Santa tucked into your stocking doesn't mean the holiday season has no more treats in store. Look up in the sky this weekend, and you'll be treated to a glorious full moon — the last one of 2012. The full moon peaked early Friday morning, but that shouldn't deter sky-watchers from checking it out on Saturday or Sunday. According to Space.com, it will still appear full to the naked eye for a couple of days before it starts to wane. Happy gazing! [Source]
