Here’s your late-2025 guide to Wyoming astronomical events—get ready for shooting stars, eclipses, and planets galore.
🌠 July 29–30: Delta Aquariid Meteor Shower
While not the flashiest meteor shower, the Delta Aquariids will sprinkle the night sky with up to 20 meteors per hour. This one favors southern skies and will be best viewed in the early morning hours.
Viewing Tip: Head to higher elevations like Curtis Canyon or Shadow Mountain for darker skies and a better horizon view.
🌌 August 12–13: Perseid Meteor Shower (Don’t Miss This One!)
The Perseidas are one of the most anticipated Wyoming astronomical events of 2025. With up to 100 meteors per hour under dark skies, this is a perfect night for a stargazing tour or DIY blanket-and-binocular setup.
Local Bonus: Jackson Hole’s altitude and low light pollution make this one of the best places in the country to catch the Perseids.
🌕 October 7: Supermoon Rising
One of three consecutive supermoons closing out 2025, the October full moon will appear larger and brighter as it rises near sunset.
Fun Fact: This moon is traditionally known as the “Harvest Moon,” and it’s a great opportunity for moonlit photography in Grand Teton National Park.
🌕 November 5: The Closest Supermoon of the Year
The November supermoon is the biggest and brightest of 2025. If you want your jaw to hit the Tetons, don’t miss moonrise.
Viewing Tip: Pack layers and hot cocoa—it’s chilly, but totally worth it.
🌑 December 13–14: Geminid Meteor Shower
The Geminids close out the year with a bang—arguably the best meteor shower of 2025. Expect slow-moving, bright meteors with multicolored trails.
Viewing Tip: Bundle up and head out before midnight for the best rates. Wyoming skies in winter = cold, but clear and unforgettable.
