Pacific Northwest stargazers have a lot to look forward to in 2025 – even if there’s no solar eclipse on the calendar.

On this week’s episode of Peak Northwest, we highlight some of this year’s must-see astronomical events, including a total lunar eclipse, planet parade and plenty of meteor showers to keep your eyes glued to the night sky.

Whether you’re an amateur astronomer or just enjoy looking up, there’s a lot to appreciate in the cosmos this year.

Here are some highlights from this week’s show:

• What is the planet parade?
• Why the “blood moon midnight eclipse” is this year’s marquee event.
• Which meteor shower should you look for in 2025?
• Why an “extreme” supermoon may be overhyped – but worth seeing anyway.
