On Thursday evening, December 4, 2025, the "Super Cold Moon" will appear, the last full moon of this year.
It will reach its point of fullness shortly after midnight on December 5th and is so called because it appears during the coldest period and longest nights of the year.
This time, the moon will be even closer to Earth than usual. It will pass about 357,000 kilometers away from us, making it appear slightly larger and brighter than a normal full moon, although the difference is not very noticeable to the naked eye.
In the sky, near the moon, Jupiter, the Pleiades star cluster, and the powerful star Aldebaran will also be visible. Meanwhile, on December 14, the Geminid meteor shower is expected to appear, one of the most beautiful "shooting star" displays of the year.
Around December 19, comet 3I/Atlas will also approach, and can be seen with good binoculars at dawn or dusk, as it will not come very close to Earth. After that, it will be gone forever.
On December 21, astronomical winter begins with the winter solstice and, after this date, the days slowly begin to lengthen.
