Sunday night, December 28, 2025, brings a classic late-December sky: a bright, growing Moon that lights up the landscape, Jupiter stealing the show for evening stargazers, and the Quadrantid meteor shower officially kicking off its annual run as we head toward the New Year.  Moongiant Below is a complete, publication-ready roundup of what matters most in the sky tonight (28.12.2025)—including the latest space-weather and asteroid-flyby…

Night Sky Today (Dec. 25, 2025): Crescent Moon and Saturn at Dusk, Brilliant Jupiter Later, Ursid Meteors, and a Christmas ISS Flyby

Christmas night has a delightfully “classic winter sky” vibe in the Northern Hemisphere: a fat waxing crescent Moon glowing in the southwest as twilight fades, Saturn parked nearby like a steady golden bead, and Jupiter muscling its way up in the east-northeast to dominate the late-evening and overnight sky.

Dec. 23, 2025 — Tonight’s sky is doing that classic winter trick: it gets dark early, stays dark long, and then quietly hands you a few genuinely photogenic targets as a reward for being a warm-blooded mammal who chose to go outside anyway. The main storylines in Night Sky Today (December 23, 2025) are straightforward and very worth your time:…

Night Sky Today (22.12.2025): Ursid Meteor Shower Peak, Aurora Alert, and the Best Planets to Spot Tonight

The “Night Sky Today” headline for 22.12.2025 is basically a gift-wrapped astronomy combo: the Ursid meteor shower is peaking on the darkest nights of the month, the Moon is only a slim waxing crescent (so it won’t wash out faint meteors), and bright Jupiter is dominating the late-evening sky. Add in a NOAA space-weather forecast calling for minor geomagnetic storming…

Night Sky Tonight (Dec. 21, 2025): Winter Solstice Stargazing, Ursid Meteor Shower Peak, Jupiter’s Glow — and Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS

If you’ve been waiting for a “big” skywatching night, Sunday, December 21, 2025 delivers one of the most atmospheric setups of the year: it’s the December solstice, bringing the longest night and shortest day for the Northern Hemisphere—precisely when a thin crescent Moon keeps skies dark for the Ursid meteor shower. And while Jupiter dominates the late evening, skywatchers with…

Saturday, December 20, 2025 brings one of the most skywatcher-friendly setups of the year: a New Moon has wiped out moonlight, Jupiter is blazing in the evening sky and staying up late, the Ursid meteor shower is building toward its peak, and an interstellar comet—3I/ATLAS—is still within reach of backyard telescopes just after its closest pass by Earth.

Friday, December 19, 2025 brings a rare “headline night” for skywatchers: an interstellar comet is making its closest pass by Earth, the Moon is slipping into (or extremely near) a New Moon phase that darkens the sky, and the year’s final major meteor shower is ramping up ahead of its peak just before Christmas.

Night Sky Tonight (December 16, 2025): What to See After Dark — Meteors, Planets, an Interstellar Comet, and Aurora Updates

December 16, 2025 is shaping up as a strong night for stargazing—especially if you’ve been waiting for darker skies. The Moon is now a slim waning crescent (about 12% illuminated), which means less moonlight glare and better contrast for meteor-watching, star clusters, and faint deep-sky targets.  Time and Date But tonight isn’t just about “pretty stars.” Several space-and-sky stories are driving headlines today, from…

Geminids Meteor Shower 2025: The Asteroid Behind Today’s Shooting Stars (Dec. 15 Updates)

On December 15, 2025, the Geminids — often called the year’s most reliable “shooting star” show — are still making headlines around the world. While peak activity has largely passed, late-season Geminid meteors are continuing to streak across dark skies, and today’s coverage has put renewed focus on the shower’s strangest detail: the Geminids come from an asteroid, not a comet.  NASA…

December 15, 2025 brings a near-perfect recipe for skywatchers: long winter nights, a slim waning Moon, and a sky full of headline-worthy targets—plus a rare interstellar visitor that’s suddenly glowing green in new images. With the winter solstice now just days away, the Northern Hemisphere is sliding toward the longest night of the year, while the Southern Hemisphere moves toward summer’s shorter nights.

Moon in December 2025: Waning Crescent Tonight, New Moon Date, Geminids Peak, and NASA’s Latest Lunar Push

December 14, 2025 is shaping up as one of the most “Moon-centric” nights of the month—not because the Moon is bright and dominating the sky, but because it isn’t. With the Moon now a waning crescent and shrinking toward the New Moon on December 19, skywatchers are getting darker skies right as the Geminid meteor shower reaches its peak window.  WUSF At the same time, December’s Moon…

  • China's Tariff Strategy and Yuan Management Impact Bitcoin Markets
    January 28, 2026, 3:44 AM EST. China's countermeasures to U.S. tariffs, notably tight control of the yuan's exchange rate, are subtly influencing bitcoin's price swings. JPMorgan highlights how Beijing's currency management helps maintain export competitiveness amidst a 29.3% average U.S. tariff on Chinese goods, indirectly affecting global dollar liquidity-a key factor for macro-sensitive assets like bitcoin. While tariffs set the scene, real market outcomes hinge on foreign exchange policies and liquidity dynamics. China's export resilience, boosted by diversification away from U.S. markets and a tightly managed yuan, supports stable global cash flows that ripple into crypto markets. This nuanced interplay underscores the broader impact of trade tensions beyond direct capital movements, shaping bitcoin's volatility during periods of tariff-driven stress.
