Meteor showers, eclipses and supermoons. What you can expect for 2025 in astronomy

ABC  

From geomagnetic storms to total solar eclipses, keen astronomers and stargazers have enjoyed a big 2024 in the sky. "The exact time Earth will be closest to the sun will be 11.28pm AEST on the 4th," Professor Horner said. It's one of the best meteor showers seen from the Southern Hemisphere, Professor Horner said. "Best time to look fragments of Halley's comet — they're visible in morning before sunrises and the best time is for about a week centred on the 6th of May." The Geminid meteor shower for 2025 will be even better than 2024's, said Professor Horner.
