Winter solstice 2018 accompanied by full Moon, meteor shower: Everything you need to know


A full Moon and a meteor shower will accompany this year's winter solstice. The Moon, known as the Cold Moon, arrives on Dec. 22 — a day after the winter solstice. According to NASA, a full moon hasn't coincided with the winter solstice since 2010 and it's not expected to join the solstice again until 2094. It's the first time this particular meteor shower has overlapped with the Cold Moon in eight years, Fortune reports. The Ursid meteor shower isn't nearly as impressive as the Geminid meteor shower, which peaked last week.
