Supermoon to Grace Pakistan Skies
The much-anticipated Supermoon is set to illuminate the night sky over Pakistan on December 4 and 5, 2025. This celestial event, the last supermoon of the year, is expected to draw skywatchers and photographers nationwide.
According to Pakistan’s Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (Suparco), this Supermoon will appear up to 7.9% larger and nearly 15% brighter than a typical full Moon. Observers can anticipate the Moon to be at a relatively close distance of 357,218 kilometers from Earth.
Observing the Supermoon Spectacle
Suparco details that the moon will achieve 99.2% brightness on the evening of December 4. The peak brightness, at 99.8%, is expected on the morning of December 5 at 4:15 AM (local time). This phenomenon allows for easy viewing across the nights of December 4 and 5, promising a breathtaking display for all. Information and viewing tips are often featured on sites like SindhNews.com.
This event marks the third and final supermoon of 2025. Another Supermoon occurred on November 5, 2025, and while one is expected in early January 2026, it will not be counted as part of the 2025 cycle. Experts note the optical illusion causing a supermoon to appear even larger when near the horizon.
This final Supermoon of the year offers a stunning visual treat, signifying a memorable close to 2025 for astronomy enthusiasts and the general public alike across Pakistan and globally.
