Catch the Last Supermoon of 2025: A Celestial Show You Won't Want to Miss!

Mark your calendars for December 4, because the full cold moon is rising, and it’s set to be the last supermoon of 2025! This exciting event occurs when the moon is at perigee, making it appear up to 14% larger and 30% brighter than usual. For all you Northern Californians, it’s time to look towards the Eastern sky where you might be able to enjoy a spectacular view—assuming heavy fog doesn’t crash the party.

The supermoon will officially peak at 3:14 PM but will stay almost fully illuminated into the evening hours. Whether you’re gazing out your window or heading to a better vantage point, don’t forget to steer clear of bright city lights for that picture-perfect moment. If you’re lucky enough to have a telescope, break it out! It’s the ideal opportunity to see all those fascinating lunar features.

So, whether you’re an avid stargazer or someone who just enjoys a good excuse to look up at the night sky, make sure you catch this final supermoon of the year. Who knows, it might just inspire you to make moon viewing a monthly tradition. Grab a blanket, some hot cocoa, and enjoy the cosmic display!
