Get ready for a celestial spectacle, Northern California! This week, the final supermoon of 2025 graces our skies, and it’s a sight you won’t want to miss. Mark your calendars for Thursday, December 4th, when the full cold moon reaches its peak brilliance. But here’s where it gets exciting: this isn’t just any full moon—it’s a supermoon, meaning the moon will be at its closest point to Earth, appearing up to 14% larger and 30% brighter than usual. Imagine that! And this is the part most people miss: the best viewing time isn’t just at peak illumination (3:14 p.m. on Thursday), but also during the evening hours when it remains nearly as dazzling. But here’s where it gets controversial: will fog in the Valley steal the show? If the skies stay clear, viewers across Northern California will be treated to a breathtaking display. For the ultimate experience, head to the Eastern sky, away from city lights, and if you’ve got a telescope, now’s the time to dust it off. This supermoon is the third of the year, following October and November’s stunning appearances, and it’s your last chance until 2026. So, what’s your plan for catching this rare event? And here’s a thought-provoking question: Do you think supermoons hold any special significance beyond their scientific explanation? Share your thoughts below—we’d love to hear your take!
