Final Supermoon of 2025 to Coincide with Meteor Showers

Mark your calendars for a dual celestial display on the night of December 4. The final supermoon of the year, also called the Cold Moon, will share the sky with the beginning of the Geminid meteor showers. A supermoon occurs when a full moon coincides with the moon's closest approach to Earth. This makes the moon appear slightly larger and brighter than usual. The Geminids, known for their reliable and bright meteors, will begin their peak activity around this date. This creates a rare opportunity to see two major astronomical events in one night. The spectacle continues into early 2026. Skywatchers can expect further notable meteor showers and planetary alignments in the coming January.
