#Long Nights Moon

[allthedesiredusernamesaretaken]

‘Moon’ (1902) from the ‘Moon and Stars’ series

- Alphonse Mucha

Tonight is the last full moon of 2024, with Sun and Moon aligning on opposite sides of Earth so that all of the Moon's face is illuminated by the Sun.

December’s full moon is called the long nights moon, as well as the cold moon or the big winter moon, as it’s the last lunar phase of the calendar year and closest to the winter solstice.

This is a time of introspection and self discovery - the long nights giving us the perfect chance to reflect and evaluate where we want to go and who we want to be in the upcoming twelve months.

In Photos: See The Full ‘Cold Moon’ Light Up Christmas Skies Around The World

By Jamie Carter, Senior Contributor

27 December 2023

December’s full moon, the “Cold Moon,” rose during dusk on Tuesday as Boxing Day — the day after Christmas Day — was celebrated.

The final full moon of 2023 and the first of winter, it also reached higher into the night sky than any other.

The full moon is the lunar phase when the moon appears fully illuminated by the sun, from Earth’s perspective.

Since it’s opposite the sun in the sky, December’s full moon reaches higher into the night sky than any other — as seen from the northern hemisphere — because it mirrors the sun, which is now at its lowest in the daytime sky.

It’s called the “Cold Moon” because it occurs during the beginning of winter, which began on December 21 with the solstice — the longest night of the year north of the equator.

Other names for December’s full moon include “Long Nights Moon,” the “Moon After Yule” and the “Wolf Moon.”

A full moon has not occurred on Christmas Day for North Americans since 2015 and won't again until 2034, according to NASA.

The “Cold Moon” is the 13th full moon of 2023 because a lunar year (12 orbits of the moon around Earth) lasts 354 days.

Since Earth’s solar year lasts 365 days, any year where the first full moon occurs before January 11 will feature 13 full moons.

2024 will have only 12 full moons.

Full moons look their best as they appear on the eastern horizon during dusk.

They appear orange because they’re seen through the densest part of Earth’s atmosphere — just like a sunrise and sunset.

Long-wavelength red and orange light travels more easily through the atmosphere than short-wavelength blue light, which strikes more particles and gets scattered.

At 3,474 km in diameter, Earth’s moon is the fifth largest in the solar system behind Ganymede (largest), Titan, Callisto and Io.

Aside from Titan at Saturn, they all orbit Jupiter.

The next full moon after the “Cold Moon” will be the full “Wolf Moon” on Thursday, 25 January 2023 — the first full moon of 2024.

Can I please have a reaction from Moon and Sun of the never ending hug/cuddle? (If not that's perfectly fine! I hope you have a wonderful day/night!)

Here is Laia from the new dimension on Eclipse and Puppet Show. Because Sunlight mentioned that he only likes men, she will become Eclipse's partner. This dimension is not a fully genderswap, so Laia stays a woman. And she doesn't have the strength update, she has normal animatronic like strength.

Story:

Laia was the mascot of the candy shop Sugarcoat, but when the old owner AND his wife died, the son didn't want to take over the shop and planed to get the shop demolished and build something else. He was also planing to decommission Laia, because this one hates animatronics. Laia heard this when the son was on the phone and with broken heart she planed her escape. She was very scared, she wanted to live.

The shop didn't close right away it was open for a few months so Laia had some time. But the son was starting to get violent and hurt Laia almost every day and she didn't dare to defend herself. Every other day she stole some money from the cash register and hid it in her room. And then she prepared her outfit to hide her body to look like a tall human woman (if you don't take a closer look).

Even though she had many clothes, she had very few to choose from because they couldn't have the Sugarcoat logo on them and needed to look somewhat normal.

She packed a backpack with the money, a change of clothes, and her portable power bank for an extra 8 hours of electricity (which is much easier to charge than herself directly). Charging cables and her little screwdriver kit just in case and a fuzzy blanket for comfort.

She couldn't take her laptop with games and movies with her in case of tracking. She doesn't have a tracking device built into her, because she was at the shop all the time anyway.

Her outfit: pants and a shirt, a jacket, her Halloween boots, gloves, and a bandana. In her backpack was her outfit like the one from SAMS.

And when she was ready, she escaped the shop at night. It wasn't easy to stay hidden. It was rare for her to find a safe place to charge, so she had to charge her portable power bank where she could (like McDonald's or other) and then plug it in herself to charge hidden in her jacket. She looked like a tall, homeless woman who was resting on a bench or something.

One night a group of people tried to attack and rob her, but she escaped and the next morning she found the building Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex. She snuck in, disguised as a tall woman under many people, and went unnoticed. She found her way in parts and service and hid there. She could rest and charge without being attacked for two weeks.

Poor Laia, she was on the run for 2 months it took a toll on her, she was so tired and scared. She found a crowbar and kept it close in case she needed to defend herself. She didn't have a plan for what to do in the future, all she knew was to survive.

And one day Eclipse found her, he first thought she was a tall human woman intruder but saw very fast that she was an animatronic, but didn't see her face. Laia was very scared, kept saying that Eclipse would not take her back to the shop and not to come any closer, and was ready to swing the crowbar if he did come closer.

Eclipse was confused and irritated, asking questions but Laia slipped out the door of parts and service looking for a new hiding spot. Clips didn't run after her, because he was busy and is not in the mood for this. But he kept an eye out when he left parts and service.

Days after he began researching about missing animatronics, but couldn't find anything. But he saw the news that Sugarcoat closed and saw pictures of Laia when she was working there. He recognizes her eyes.

He went to search the whole plex and found her somewhere in the basement sitting in the corner. When she saw him she got scared again, holding the crowbar up. Clips tried this time to calm her down, he was bad at it but it worked. He just wanted to know why she was there. She hesitated but then told him everything that happened in the shop and in the streets.

He said he would not tell everyone, not to help her but because he didn't care (yeah sure buddy, you are nice, deal with it!). He said she could stay there until he figured something out. He warned her if she hurt anyone or caused trouble, he would kick her out.

After days he kept checking on her and having some small talk. He brings her stuff to keep her occupied. He tried bringing her candy from the daycare (because mascot of the candy shop), but she hates candy now, so he brought her some chips. The ghost kids found her and started visiting her too and then FC found her and then the whole group knew about her.

Within time she befriended everyone and Eclipse hacked into Fazbear's system and registered Laia as an official Fazbear animatronic (the thing he did when he, Foxy, FC, and Puppet moved in). Her job was to be at the cash register at the theater, so Clips could leave to do other things. And because those two hung out a lot at the theater together, they grew close.

Bakely’s cheeks puff and her eyes grow big. Her palm closes into a gentle fist, cradling Sun’s message close to her pulse. “So, it was okay?”

Sun makes a show of looking around for anyone overhearing, then leans in close and makes a pinching motion with his thumb and index finger. “A little.”
