The Full "Cold"Moon Rise ... the last one
Long Beach Grouville, Jersey Food Tours, A3, Grouville, JE3 9EP, Jersey
Details
*FREE EVENT* So here we are, the last Full Moon of the year... The December full moon is known as the “Cold Moon” or the “Long Night moon,” and is of course named for the cold temperatures that impact most of the Northern Hemisphere as winter begins on 22nd December. The full Moon appears exceptionally long in December when nights are at their longest, allowing the Moon’s light to shine for a longer duration than any other time of the year. *** Moonrise 15.45 Sunset 16.10 Over the last few months we have enjoyed views of the Moon craters, rings of Saturn, various constellations and even the Starlink Satellite Train! Once again we shall be pointing the telescope and binoculars skyward to explore a different world. Please meet us at the benches above Long Beach car park, Grouville, from 15.15. If you have binoculars and a folding chair please bring them along. Warm clothing, a blanket and a hot drink are a must! For the swimmers ...high tide is at 18.22 (10.5m) NOTE: The Fish 'n' Chip shop in the village is closed on Sundays. We hope you can join us for what is becoming a very popular social event.
