The last full moon of 2022, which will take place on December 8, is known as the "long night moon" or "cold moon", a name that comes from the Mohawk Indians, an indigenous people of North America. However, this is only one of the particularities of the month of December 2022 at an astronomical level, as there are many more.

December 8 will be particularly auspicious in this regard because the red planet will shine brighter than at any other time of the year, as at this date it will be at its closest point to Earth and its face will be fully illuminated by the Sun. A medium-sized telescope can make it possible to distinguish some of the details of the planet's surface.
