Karachi crowds gather on beaches as first supermoon of 2025 brightens night sky

KARACHI: A “Harvest Supermoon,” one of the year’s largest and brightest celestial events, lit up the skies over Pakistan’s port city of Karachi on Monday night, drawing crowds eager to photograph the glowing lunar spectacle from beaches and waterfronts. The phenomenon occurs when a full moon coincides with the moon’s closest point to Earth in its elliptical orbit — a position known as perigee — making it appear noticeably larger and brighter.
