Arizona residents can look forward to one of the most striking sky events of the year. On Thursday, December 4, 2025, the Cold Moon Supermoon will rise over red rock canyons, saguaro forests, and desert plains — and a new national study from Action Network ranks Arizona #2 in the U.S. for seeing it clearly.

This Cold Moon is also the final supermoon of 2025, completing a rare three-supermoon sequence to close out the year.

According to the Supermoon Visibility Index — which analyzed sky clarity, humidity, elevation, and darkness across all 50 states — Arizona follows just behind New Mexico in its likelihood of offering an unobstructed view.
