December 31, 2025 Moon Phase: What to Expect

by Priyanka Patel

Here are three boxes, formatted as requested, to insert into the provided text. I’ve placed suggestions for where to insert them, but feel free to adjust based on flow.

Did you know? – The moonS shining surfaces are highlands composed of anorthosite, a rock richer in calcium and aluminum than the darker maria.

(Suggested insertion point: After the first paragraph, before “What You Can See tonight”)

Pro tip – Observing the moon is easiest when it’s low on the horizon; atmospheric distortion is minimized at lower angles.

(Suggested insertion point: After the paragraph describing what can be seen with binoculars/telescopes, before “looking Ahead…”)

Reader question – Why does the moon appear larger when it’s near the horizon? It’s an optical illusion, caused by the moon appearing in relation to foreground objects.

(Suggested insertion point: After the paragraph explaining the lunar cycle, before the list of phases.)
