On Wednesday, the final full moon for 2023 will rise in the skies, and it will be visible immediately after the sunset.

Dr. Ashraf Tadres, the professor at the NRIAG- National Research Institute of Astronomy and Geophysics that the moon between December 25 and 28 like a full moon because the eye can't differentiate the slight differences of the moon.

This December's full moon came during the 12 days of Christmas of the Catholic Church and the Greek Orthodox, therefore, experts called December 2023 full moon as Christmas Cold Moon.

December's full moon is called the "cold moon," a term coined by Native Americans to refer to the cooler temperatures.

Other names for the final full moon of the year include the "Snow Moon," the "Winter Maker Moon," and even the "Moon When the Deer Shed Their Antlers."
