2025’s first supermoon appears tonight, visible across the globe
Compared to a regular full moon, it appears 6.6% larger and 13% brighter

(Web Desk): The first supermoon of the year will be visible tonight. It is the first of three supermoons expected to be observed this year.
According to SUPARCO, Pakistan's space research organization, there will be three supermoons in 2025, with the first one appearing today. This supermoon appeared at 8:47 PM and will remain visible until shortly before sunrise
Tonight’s supermoon is located at a distance of 224,599 miles from Earth. Compared to a regular full moon, it appears 6.6% larger and 13% brighter.
The brightest supermoon of the year is expected in November, when the moon will be just 221,817 miles away from Earth.
According to science, when the full moon reaches the closest point to Earth in its orbit, it appears larger and brighter—a phenomenon commonly known as a "supermoon". A supermoon is recorded as being significantly larger and much more luminous than the moon on a typical night.
This celestial event is not only being witnessed in Pakistan, but also across the world. The next two supermoons will appear on November 5 and December 5, offering more spectacular views in the night sky.
