12月15日晚上，满月很明亮。它被一些人称为“冷月”或“长夜月”，是距离北方冬至最近的满月，也是2024年最后一次满月。这次满月也是在一个主要的月球停滞。月全食是由月球轨道在18.6年的周期内的岁差引起的，月全食发生在南北方向。因此，月全食发生在月球最北端的月出（月落）点附近。12月的满月在这张叠加图中升起，这张叠加图记录了在北方冬夜肉眼可见的亮度范围。在意大利多洛米蒂山脉崎岖的白雪皑皑的山峰上，伴随着五彩缤纷的月晕和飞机轨迹，这一轮长夜月亮在寒冷的天空中闪耀。

On the night of December 15, the Full Moon was bright. Known to some as the Cold Moon or the Long Night Moon, it was the closest Full Moon to the northern winter solstice and the last Full Moon of 2024. This Full Moon was also at a major lunar standstill. A major lunar standstill is an extreme in the monthly north-south range of moonrise and moonset caused by the precession of the Moon's orbit over an 18.6 year cycle. As a result, the full lunar phase was near the Moon's northernmost moonrise (and moonset) along the horizon. December's Full Moon is rising in this stacked image, a composite of exposures recording the range of brightness visible to the eye on the northern winter night. Along with a colorful lunar corona and aircraft contrail this Long Night Moon shines in a cold sky above the rugged, snowy peaks of the Italian Dolomites.
