MANILA, Philippines – A full moon will be seen on Christmas day, a rare event that has not happened in about 4 decades and won't happen again in nearly two decades.
"Not since 1977 has a full moon dawned in the skies on Christmas. But this year, a bright full moon will be an added gift for the holidays," according to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
"This rare event won’t happen again until 2034. That’s a long time to wait, so make sure to look up to the skies on Christmas Day," it added.
NASA, a United States government agency, has a spacecraft orbiting the Earth's moon to investigate the lunar surface. – Rappler.com
