The biggest astronomical events coming in 2025

Pacific Northwest stargazers have a lot to look forward to in 2025 – even if there’s no solar eclipse on the calendar. On this week’s episode of Peak Northwest, we highlight some of this year’s must-see astronomical events, including a total lunar eclipse, planet parade and plenty of meteor showers to keep your eyes glued to the night sky. Whether you’re an amateur astronomer or just enjoy looking up, there’s a lot to appreciate in the cosmos this year. Here are some highlights from this week’s show: What is the planet parade? Why the “blood moon midnight eclipse” is this year’s marquee event. Which meteor shower should you look for in 2025? Why an “extreme” supermoon may be overhyped – but worth seeing anyway.
