First Supermoon of 2025 to Light Up the Sky on October 7

October 7, 2025 will bring a spectacular sight for skywatchers around the world. The first Supermoon of 2025 is set to rise, appearing larger and brighter than an ordinary full moon.

Astronomy experts say this Supermoon will look 14 percent bigger and 30 percent brighter, making it a rare and breathtaking experience.

What Is a Supermoon?

A Supermoon occurs when the full moon reaches the closest point to Earth in its elliptical orbit. This makes the moon look unusually large and bright to the naked eye.

On October 7, 2025, the moon will be 224,599 miles away from Earth, marking the nearest Supermoon since November 2024.

More Supermoons in 2025

This will not be the only Supermoon of the year. After October, two more are scheduled:

• November 5, 2025 – expected to be the brightest Supermoon of the year at a distance of 221,817 miles.

• December 5, 2025 – the last Supermoon of the year.

Although another Supermoon will occur in January 2026, it falls outside the 2025 calendar year.

Why Is This Supermoon Special?

Supermoons appear several times a year, usually three or four. But the October 7 event stands out due to its closeness to Earth. Its striking brightness and larger-than-usual size will give stargazers a memorable view.

People in Pakistan and across the globe will be able to enjoy the stunning night-sky display, weather permitting.

Astronomy enthusiasts recommend watching from a clear, open location away from city lights for the best view.
