Although the rain continues, there's always one thing that's usually visible between the clouds – the moon and already January's full moon was Friday. It was, and will be, visible most of the night(s) because it will be rising at dusk and setting just before dawn.

January's full moon is a micromoon; think of it as opposite of a supermoon. It's when the full moon is at its farthest point from Earth or it's at apogee. That's what apogee means. It happens because the moon's orbit around the Earth isn't a circle path, it's an elliptical one.
