Full Moon on the 21st is called "Cold Moon" by Native Americans of New England and the Great Lakes because at this time of the year the nights are long, the days are short and so less sunlight means more cold days.
On December 21, there will also be a total
lunar eclipse of the moon.
This will be visible in Europe, east Asia, Australia, the Pacific Ocean
region, and the Americas.
