Tonight’s waxing crescent Moon is growing brighter (roughly “one-fifth lit” by evening), setting the stage for easy naked-eye stargazing, quick telescope looks at lunar craters along the day-night line, and a clean backdrop for planets and satellites. Space+1 And yes: there’s also a very real chance you’ll see a bright, silent “moving star” glide overhead — the International Space Station — timed so neatly around the holiday that it’s already become part of the day’s skywatching headlines.

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 the right telescope may still have a shot at a once-in-a-lifetime target: interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, which made its closest pass by Earth just two nights ago.

Dec. 18, 2025 — If you’re planning to look up tonight, the sky has a rare mix of “big news” and easy wins. The headline event is an interstellar visitor—Comet 3I/ATLAS—making its closest pass by Earth (and getting a free livestream).

Add a bright Jupiter, a golden Saturn, and a minor geomagnetic storm forecast that could help aurora watchers at higher latitudes, and Dec. 18 becomes one of those winter nights worth bundling up for.

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.

Time and Date But tonight isn’t just about “pretty stars.” Several space-and-sky stories are driving headlines today, from a rare interstellar comet nearing its best observing window, to a predawn rocket launch that lit up skies along Florida’s Space Coast, to fresh talk of micrometeorites (the tiny dust-sized leftovers of meteor showers) quietly piling up on rooftops.
