December 2025 Supermoon to bring Brighter Tides and Stunning Skies
jakarta, โindonesia -โฃ Skywatchers โand โคcoastal communities are preparing for a stunning “Cold Supermoon” inโ early โDecember 2025, the last full supermoon ofโ the year. the phenomenon willโ see the Moon appear up to 14% larger and 30% brighter than an average full moon, offering a breathtaking visual display โขand potentially impacting coastal areas with heightened tidal activity.
This December’s supermoonโค occurs when the โคMoon reaches its closest point to Earth โค- known as perigee – coinciding withโ the โฃfull moon โphase. โthe combination creates a dramatic effect, making it an ideal opportunity forโค astronomical observation andโฃ photography. However,โ the increased gravitational โคpullโ of the closer Moon also carries implications for Earth’s โขoceans, prompting alerts for those living inโ coastal regions.
Theโฃ term “Cold Supermoon”โ stems from the tradition of naming full moons according to the time of year. Asโ the โMoon approaches โperigee, its stronger gravity can causeโค sea tides to โขbe higherโค than โฃnormal, โpotentially increasing the risk of coastal flooding. While the potential for largeโฃ tidal waves is considered low, authorities are โissuing early warnings and โฃadvising โขvigilance โfor those โnear the beach.
The supermoon’s impact extends beyond the โcoast. The โbrighter โคlunar illumination โขcan affect nocturnalโฃ wildlife and,for many,provides โa stunning backdrop โขfor evening activities.Astronomersโข anticipate increased โpublic interestโ in observingโฃ the Moon duringโ this period.
Residents in coastal areas are advised to โstay โขinformed about local whether conditionsโ and heed any warnings issuedโฃ by the Meteorological Agency andโข related institutions. For those seeking to witness the event, clear skies will offer the best viewing opportunities of โthis โfinal, brilliant full moon โof 2025.
