December 2025 brings a beautiful mix of bright events, dark-sky opportunities, and classic winter sky targets. In this video, you’ll find everything you need to know about this month’s Moon phases, planet visibility, the spectacular Geminid meteor shower, and the most rewarding deep-sky objects of the season.
🌙 December 2025 Moon Phases
The lunar cycle plays a major role in sky visibility. While the Full Moon on December 5 brightens the night sky, conditions improve quickly after the Last Quarter. The best observing period will arrive right after the New Moon on December 20, with December 21–25 offering the darkest skies of the month, perfect for deep-sky observers and astrophotographers.
✨ Planets
Jupiter is the highlight of the month, visible from the evening hours until dawn. Saturn can be observed from sunset until around midnight. Mercury reaches its greatest western elongation on December 8, shining low above the eastern horizon before sunrise.
Mars and Venus, however, remain too close to the Sun to be visible throughout December.
☄️ Meteor Showers
The Geminids, the brightest and most reliable meteor shower of the year, peak on the night of December 13–14. Under dark skies, you may see more than 120 meteors per hour, many of them bright yellow, green, or blue.
Later in the month, the Ursids peak on December 23, aligning perfectly with the New Moon period, offering clearer and darker skies for observation.
🌌 Deep Sky Targets
Winter skies are rich with iconic targets. The Orion Nebula (M42), Flame and Horsehead Nebulae, Pleiades (M45), the Crab Nebula, and the tiny yet detailed Eskimo Nebula stand out as the best objects to observe and photograph this month. Each one offers unique challenges and rewards for astrophotographers.
Whether you're observing with the naked eye, binoculars, or a telescope, the night sky in December shines at its most magical. Clear skies and happy observing! 🌠
