From 2nd Avenue, the last full moon of 2024

A dispatch about last night from Felton Davis of the Second Avenue Star Watchers... 
Has a December full moon and a Santacon parade in sub-freezing weather all taken place on one day? Not in my memory! It was after 9 p.m. when the moon, Jupiter and Aldebaran lined up in the constellation Taurus, and the crowds of revelers were thinning out, except for two guys who almost poured their beers down inside the telescope while leaning over to get a look. They told me I should have a bottle opener attached to the tube...
And this was the last full moon of 2024.
