🤯Supermoon Spectacle: A Cosmic Alignment! ✨

World News

The full Cold Moon will be visible on Thursday, December 4, 2025, marking the third and final supermoon of the year. While supermoons occur approximately three to four times annually, it is uncommon to observe three consecutive ones, a phenomenon that extends to four if the first full Moon of 2026 is also included. These supermoons arise when the Moon reaches its perigee – its closest point to Earth in its orbit – resulting in a noticeably larger and brighter appearance in the night sky. A full Moon, as with any full Moon, occurs when the Sun and Moon are positioned on opposite sides of Earth, aligned in what’s known as ‘syzygy,’ thus illuminating the entire face of the Moon visible to us. The Cold Moon will rise in the northeastern skies at 14:52 GMT in London, 14:29 in Edinburgh, 15:05 in Belfast, and 15:05 in Cardiff on December 4th. It will set again between 08:00 and 09:00 the following morning, providing ample dark hours for viewing. Please consult local sunrise and sunset times for your location. During this full Moon, it will form a prominent triangle in the sky with the Pleiades star cluster and the bright star Aldebaran. The next full Moon, the Wolf Moon, is scheduled for Saturday, January 3, 2026, and will also be a supermoon.
