No prizes are being handed out for guessing why the new supermoon making an appearance today (11.14pm GMT) is called the Cold Moon.
Natives of North America, these wonderful souls at one with nature gave names to the moons in a bid to track the seasons.
With the Winter Solstice approaching on the 21st, the sun will be at its lowest and the moon at its highest.
Did you know the moon’s orbit( Elliptical orbit) isn’t a perfect circle but slightly oval-shaped?

When I was little, Cowboy and Indian movies ( Westerns) were popular and often on TV. I remember vividly, I can’t have been very old, watching a part of one film where the Indians on horseback were circling a wagon train. Arrows were flying one way and bullets another. I distinctly remember thinking to myself that should I be part of that scenario, I would lay down and pretend to be dead- A little insight there into the mind of a child
