Overview
- Astronomical measurements place the perigee distance near 356,833–356,980 kilometers, making this the closest and brightest full moon of the year.
- The event is visible across much of the Americas, Europe and Asia, with optimal views on the evenings of November 4–5 and especially when the Moon is low on the horizon.
- Because the exact peak occurs when the Moon is below the horizon in some locations, observers are advised to watch either tonight or the following night.
- Viewers need no special equipment, though dark-sky sites and binoculars or small telescopes can enhance surface detail and photographs.
- This is the second of three consecutive supermoons in late 2025 and coincides with Taurid activity ahead of the Leonids, with only slight, non-significant tidal increases expected.
