The final supermoon of 2025, known as the ‘Cold Moon’, put on a spectacular cosmic display on Thursday night, lighting up skylines across the world.
US Space Agency Nasa states that a supermoon occurs when a full moon coincides with the Moon’s closest approach to Earth in its elliptical orbit, a point known as perigee.
According to CNN, the moniker ‘Cold Moon’ indicates that it’s the full moon event closest to the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere.
Pakistan Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission has said that the supermoon, which was visible on Thursday night, will also be visible in the country tonight.
Here are some pictures of the supermoon lighting up skies across the world.
