'Cold Supermoon' 2025: Why the final full moon of the year also towers highest

Anacondas reached their massive size approximately 12 million years ago, a development that allowed them to thrive even as other giant reptiles faced extinction due to cooling temperatures and reduced habitats. This remarkable adaptation has enabled them to maintain their size without significant changes since that time.

A new mathematical equation has been developed that describes the distribution of fragment sizes when objects break, revealing that this distribution is consistent across various materials, including bubbles and spaghetti. This phenomenon is referred to as the 'law of maximal randomness.'

Archaeologists in Greece have uncovered a lavish 2,700-year-old tomb belonging to a noblewoman, which features an intriguing upside-down crown, symbolizing lost power. This discovery sheds light on the burial practices and social hierarchies of ancient Greek society.

On December 2, 2025, significant science news includes the successful launch of SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket, which carried a new batch of Starlink satellites into orbit. This launch is part of SpaceX's ongoing efforts to enhance global internet connectivity through its satellite network.

A philosopher has proposed that time may not be a concrete reality but rather a psychological projection of the mind onto a timeless existence, suggesting that both physics and philosophy support this notion. This perspective challenges traditional views of time as a linear and measurable phenomenon.

Winter officially begins on December 21, 2025, coinciding with the appearance of an infamous comet and the last supermoon of the year, providing a unique opportunity for stargazers to witness these celestial events. The comet's visibility and the supermoon are expected to attract significant attention from astronomy enthusiasts and the general public alike.

New research indicates that as humans reduce emissions and global temperatures decline, Antarctica's Southern Ocean may initiate a thermal 'burp' that could last for a century. This phenomenon suggests a potential resurgence of warming in the region, counteracting current climate mitigation efforts.
