As 2025 draws toward its close, Singapore's skies will stage a quiet but luminous finale — three consecutive supermoons rising in October, November, and December, each one pulling fractionally closer to Earth and shining a little more insistently than usual. Alongside them, the Draconid meteor shower will trace brief arcs across the October night, remnants of a comet's ancient passage. These are not rare catastrophes but recurring rhythms, reminders that the cosmos keeps its own calendar, indifferent to city lights and cloud cover, patient with those who choose to look up.
