Skywatchers ar in for a handle this hebdomad as the net replete(p) moon of 2025, known as the ‘Cold Moon’, rises on December 5. If weather or city skylines block your view, several livestreams will broadcast the event in real time.
Traditionally called the ‘Cold Moon’ for the sharp drop in temperatures across the Northern Hemisphere, December’s full moon is also referred to as the 'Moon Before Yule', marking the final lunar event before Christmas.
This month’s spectacle coincides with the moon passing within 90% of its perigee, making it shine up to 30% brighter and appear noticeably larger than the year’s smallest full moon.
This full moon arrives just as an 18.6-year ‘Major Lunar Standstill’ cycle winds down. During this rare phase, the moon’s orbital tilt peaks, causing the lunar disk to rise farther north on the horizon and climb higher into the autumn sky than usual.
The Virtual Telescope Project will begin its broadcast on December 4 at 3 PM EST, offering live telescopic views from Manciano, Italy.
Los Angeles’ Griffith Observatory will follow with its own livestream on December 5 at 8:27 PM EST.
