Explanation:
This bright Full Moon was captured on December 2nd,
shining above a church overlooking the River Po, in Turin, Italy,
It was the first
Full Moon
in December.
Shining on celebrations of New Year's Eve,
last night's Full Moon was the second Full Moon of December and
so fits the modern definition
of a Blue Moon -
the second Full Moon in a month.
Because the lunar cycle,
Full Moon to Full Moon, spans 29.5 days,
Blue Moons tend to occur in some month about every 2.5 years.
Shining in the glare just above and right of December's first
Full Moon is the Pleiades star cluster.
