RARE CHRISTMAS WITH FULL MOON ON 25 DEC: This
year 25 December is special because a Full Moon can be spotted by people on Christmas Day.
This is the first time since 1977 that a full Moon has fallen on 25 December
and the next time it occurs is 2034. That is after 37 years we have Full Moon
visible on Christmas Day. Whereas next such opportunity to observe full moon on
Christmas Day will come only after 19 years.
Planetary
Society, India is pleased to wish
people a Happy Milad-un-Nabi (24 Dec 2015)
and Happy Merry Christmas (on 25 December, 2015). While thanking year
2015 for providing historic space science/celestial events. We wish people a
Happy Prosperous New year 2016 with bouquet full of celestial events waiting in
store to enthrall people.
Christmas is celebrated across the world on 25
December every year. However if one observes the Full Moon phase data previous
100 years (of from Year 1900 to Year 2000) and data for next 100 years (from
year 2001 to Year 2100). It would be interesting to know on very few occasions
people across the world had opportunity to see full moon the Christmas Day.
Whereas on 25 December this year 2015 is special
because a Full Moon can be spotted by people. This is the first time since 1977 that a full Moon has fallen on 25
December and the next time it occurs is 2034. That is after 37
years we have Full Moon visible on Christmas Day. Whereas next such opportunity
to observe full moon on Christmas Day will come only after 19 years.
Request/Appeal:
Planetary Society India requests (like for any
other celestial event) people across various faiths and region to utilize this
celestial coincidence opportunity to look up to Skies and observe Moon.
Very nice Info.
