Kuwait's final supermoon of 2025 lights up the December sky tonight

Kuwait will witness the final supermoon of 2025 this evening. The event coincides with the December full moon, often called the 'Cold Moon' in the northern hemisphere. Skywatchers can expect a striking display as the moon appears larger and brighter than usual. The supermoon will look roughly 10 percent bigger than an average full moon. Its size will be most noticeable just after sunset, making this the best time for viewing in Kuwait. Later in the evening, the moon may seem smaller as it climbs higher in the sky.

Northern countries, especially across Europe, will see an even more pronounced effect. The phenomenon offers a rare chance for photography and stargazing. Adel Al-Saadoun, head of the Kuwaiti Astronomical Society, recommends framing the moon with trees or buildings to enhance visual impact. After this event, the next full moon will arrive on January 3, marking the first of 2026. Tonight’s supermoon remains the last opportunity of the year to observe such a spectacle.

The supermoon provides a clear opportunity for both casual observers and serious photographers. Those in Kuwait should head outside shortly after sunset for the best view. The event closes out 2025’s celestial calendar with a memorable display.
