Skygazers had their eyes full in 2020, with 13 full moons, myriad meteor showers and a planetary alignment not seen since the middle ages.
On Tuesday night, the final full moon of the year, the cold moon, stunned.
>> 13 full moons, including 2 supermoons and 1 Blue moon, to appear during 2020
In honor of a year that supplied 13 full moons including two supermoons, and a blue moon in October, here are 13 impressive photos of the final full moon of 2020:

Such a beautiful alignment of the nearly full #ColdMoon with the top of the Superman Building this morning over Providence that I couldn't help but make a composite image to capture the full range of detail. Don't forget to check out the #FullMoon tonight! #ProvidenceRI pic.twitter.com/F3vQdwHIyZ

Moon rise tonight!! I thought it was going to rise up closer to the towers but it’s good it didn’t because then I wouldn’t have got the balancing on the crane photo 😂 #yeg #fullmoon #canoncanada #sigmacanada pic.twitter.com/BgXzcnS0qR

Caught the last full moonrise of 2020 on the maiden voyage of my new inflatable kayak in Alameda. So magical. Stopped at a friend’s dock where there was a 7 PM salute to healthcare workers on the inlet. Beautiful night and sentiment. Here’s to 2021. #FullMoon pic.twitter.com/gzLuW1MAjI
