As the final month of the year begins, early evenings offer just one naked-eye planet. Fortunately for us, that lone world is Saturn. The ringed planet lies high in the northwest as twilight fades, tucked among the faint background stars of northeastern Aquarius the Water-bearer.

DALLAS (AP) - It's time for the start of summer -- with a full moon to boot. Here’s what to know about the summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere on Thursday. What is the summer solstice? The Earth spins on a tilt as it revolves around the sun.

It's Dec. 1, but despite the snow we've been getting, the official start to winter is still three weeks out. Here's when winter technically begins.

The winter solstice is the time when winter officially begins. It’s also the shortest day of the year in the northern hemisphere. The winter solstice is at 10:03 a.m. on Sunday, Dec. 21. The day marks the point where the Earth’s axis causes the northern hemisphere to be tilted as far away from the sun as possible.

The final supermoon of 2025, the “Cold Moon,” will be visible Thursday night, Dec. 4. A supermoon occurs when the moon’s orbit brings it closer than usual to the Earth during a full moon, making it look slightly larger and brighter than normal.

December's Cold Moon - the last full Moon of 2025 - rises on Thursday (December 4). As the third and final supermoon of the year and the highest full Moon of 2025, it's set to be a stunning sight. Clear skies are essential for viewing the full Moon because clouds can scatter moonlight and reduce clarity and detail of our stunning lunar companion.
