Three Full Supermoons Are Coming Up in 2025! Here's When to See Them

The year 2024 saw many cosmic and astronomical events, including a rare alignment of the planets and a total solar eclipse. The year had a total of four supermoon events, with each one appearing larger and brighter than usual in the night sky. 

With 2025 approaching in just two months, there are some exciting astronomical events to look forward to. One of them is the supermoons, which will occur three times throughout the year, providing skywatchers with stunning views of the moon at its closest point to Earth. 

These supermoons will occur in October, November, and December 2025, giving astronomers and stargazers plenty of opportunities to witness the moon in all its glory. 

Additionally, 2025 will also bring a rare planetary conjunction between Jupiter and Saturn, creating a spectacular sight in the night sky that hasn't been seen in centuries.

What is a Super Moon?

A supermoon is a full moon that occurs when the moon is at its closest point to Earth in its orbit, known as perigee. This makes the moon appear larger and brighter than usual. There are generally two types of supermoons:

Super Full Moon: This happens when a full moon coincides with a perigee, making it look about 14% bigger and 30% brighter than a regular full moon.

Super New Moon: This occurs when a new moon is also near the perigee, although it's less commonly observed since new moons are not visible.

Supermoons typically happen three to four times a year and create stunning visual displays in the night sky.
