The final supermoon of 2025 lights up US skies soon. Known as the Cold Moon, it hits full phase on December 4. This event caps a trio of supermoons this year. At peak, the moon sits just 221,965 miles from Earth. That's 17,000 miles closer than average distance. Expect a stunning sight. The moon appears 14% larger in diameter. It shines 30% brighter than a standard full moon. North America's winter chill inspires the "Cold Moon" name. Clear nights boost visibility across the nation.
