I’ve always been drawn to Antares…it glows red like Mars in the sky, and is the heart of the Scorpion, the center of the Scorpio constellation🦂
Antares is the 15th largest star in the sky and is a red supergiant. I hope you see it tonight!❤️🔥
🌕 October 25, 2025 — Tonight: The Moon Meets a Red Giant ❤️
Look up tonight — something quietly breathtaking is happening above us.
The Moon will drift close to Antares, the blazing red supergiant that marks the heart of Scorpius — a star so immense and ancient, it humbles our Sun into a mere spark.
✨ What You’ll See:
A brilliant, nearly full Moon, glowing soft silver-white…
and right beside it, Antares, burning deep crimson-orange, like a dying ember in the cosmic dark.
Together, they paint one of the most beautiful color contrasts you’ll ever see — moonlight and starlight, silver and fire, youth and age.
🌌 When & Where to Look:
Just after sunset, face the southern sky.
From dusk till midnight, the Moon and Antares will shine together — a pairing you can spot even from city skies.
For the best view, step outside to a dark, open spot and let your eyes adjust.
🔭 Did You Know?
If Antares were placed where our Sun is, it would swallow Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars — its fiery surface reaching far beyond our orbit.
It’s a glimpse of what our Sun will become billions of years from now: a red giant, glowing softly in its final act.
💫 Tonight, take a quiet moment.
Breathe. Step outside.
You’re witnessing an ancient cosmic dance — one that’s been repeating for millions of years, yet feels brand new every time you look up.
