Get ready for some epic astronomy events in 2025! The 2025 night sky calendar is packed with cool celestial events that you won’t want to miss! We'll be treated to everything from stunning meteor showers and planetary conjunctions to comets, and lunar and solar eclipses. Comet C/2024 G3 reaches perihelion in early January, and it is expected to be naked-eye visible. The first lunar eclipse of the year occurs in March, which is followed by a partial solar eclipse. The year ends on a high with the last full Moon in December being a supermoon, and the final meteor shower, the Geminids, expected to put on a great show.
