December's 'Cold Moon' puts on a show

Technology Dec 07, 2025

Friday night's sky got a major upgrade with the Cold Moon—the last supermoon of 2025—shining bigger and brighter than usual.
This happened because the Moon was at its closest point to Earth, and the crisp winter weather made it even easier to spot.
The name "Cold Moon" fits perfectly, since it shows up during those long, chilly nights at the start of winter.

Not just pretty—nature noticed too

This supermoon wasn't just for stargazers; its extra brightness likely influenced nocturnal animal behavior.
Since the moon was higher in the sky thanks to December's solstice, it lit things up more than usual, showing just how much these cosmic events can shape life here on Earth.
