Tonight, the full moon occurs at 6:33pm CST. And, not surprising, one of the December full moon name is "Cold Moon." It is also referred to as "Full Long Nights Moon" #wherethestarshangout

The KING of meteor showers peaks tonight. Astronomers estimate that up to 120 meteors per hour could be visible as we have nearly a new moon throughout the entire night sky. These meteors are known to last a little bit longer- lasting up to 2 secs. SOURCE: adlerplanetarium.org
"In case you didn't know, the moon reaches the new moon phase tonight! Therefore, if the weather cooperates, it would be an ideal night for stargazing!
You don't NEED to use anything fancy to see some cool stuff, just your eyes, a sky map/star finder, and some patience!
"Did you know that Retzer will celebrate its 50th anniversary next year? There are a lot of great programs scheduled and in store for its patrons. Make sure to follow us both on social media so that you don't miss out!
