Yes! The moon is full on the solstice this year, and every full moon is spectacularly bright. But will this month's full moon appear super bright -- much brighter than usual -- clearly brighter to the eye than any other full moon of your lifetime? No. Unless you are a very astute observer indeed with an extremely clear dark sky, the full moon on December 22 won't look significantly brighter to the eye than any other full moon. wayne
