Full Moons Better in Winter
Henry Reich of MinutePhysics tells us that the splendor of a full moon is on optimum display in the dead of winter. “The moon is full when it’s on the opposite side of the earth from the sun, its whole face reflecting the light of the sun back at us,” he says. “The winter moon is like a summer sun. It’s up for a long time and takes a high path through the sky.” Listen in as Reich elaborates on why we are so fascinated by the full moon phenomenon.
