The last such event, when a full moon dawned in the skies on Christmas occurred in 1977.


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.


As you gaze up at the Christmas moon, take note that NASA has a spacecraft currently orbiting Earth's moon. NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) mission has been investigating the lunar surface since 2009.
