Overview
- Full phase occurs around 14:19–14:20 in Italy, with perigee at 23:27 at roughly 356,833 km from Earth.
- Best views come just after sunset as it rises in the east with golden to reddish hues, with Italian astronomy groups hosting public observing events.
- Astronomers describe the event as a full Moon at perigee rather than using the popular but nontechnical label supermoon.
- Reports estimate the disc could look about 8–10% larger and roughly 16–25% brighter than a typical full Moon, depending on the comparison used.
- Skywatchers can also spot Saturn near the Moon tonight, with a Moon–Jupiter pairing on November 9, the Leonids on November 17–18, and Uranus near minimum distance on November 21.
