Happy Holidays From Re/code: There's Absolutely Nothing Digital About This Christmas Full Moon

We spend all our year yammering on about tech, gadgets and such.

So tonight and tomorrow, why don’t you turn it all off, go outside and take a long look at the first full moon on Christmas Day in 40 years (in other words, 1977).

There is nothing digital about that.

Called a Full Cold Moon, NASA said in a post that the rare event won’t happen again until 2034 (when we will presumably be telepathically ordering last-minute items from Amazon). It is rising just about now in the Pacific time zone and peaks about 3 am PT.

Good news for Santa tonight, but bad news for Rudolph.
