Overview
- The Moon reaches perigee at roughly 356,833 km around 23:27–23:30 CET on November 5, marking 2025’s closest and brightest supermoon per NASA and Heaven‑above calculations.
- The full phase occurs at about 14:19 local time in France, with the best naked‑eye views after sunset and moonrise near 17:00 under clear skies.
- Jupiter will appear below left of the Moon and Saturn above right around late evening, offering an easy pairing for skywatchers without special equipment.
- Astronomers caution the change is subtle, with this event expected to look only a little larger and brighter than average despite popular “supermoon” hype.
- Known as the Beaver Moon from North American traditions, this is the second in a trio of supermoons this fall, with the final one forecast for early December.
