Pakistan is all set to enjoy the last supermoon of 2025 on the night of December 4–5. This full moon is called the “Cold Moon” because it appears in the early winter season when temperatures drop.
The Moon will rise in the eastern sky at 4:58 p.m. on Wednesday, December 4. It will look completely full to our eyes throughout the night and will reach its brightest moment (99.8 % illumination) at 4:15 a.m. on Thursday, December 5.
On this night, the Moon will be only 357,218 kilometers away from Earth, much closer than usual. Because of this close distance, it will appear around 8 % bigger and up to 15 % brighter than a normal full moon. This is why it is called a “supermoon.”
People across Pakistan, from Karachi to Islamabad, Lahore to Peshawar, and even in villages, can watch it with the naked eye if the sky is clear.
No telescope or binoculars are needed. It will be a perfect opportunity for families to sit on rooftops, students to learn about the sky, and photography lovers to click stunning pictures.
This Cold Moon is the fourth and final supermoon of 2025. After this, the next supermoon will come only in 2026.
