Calendario lunar de de noviembre: cuándo se verá la segunda superluna del año y cuales serán las fases lunares

Overview

  • The Beaver Moon reaches full phase on Nov. 5 at 13:19 UTC (8:19 a.m. ET) about 356,980 kilometers from Earth, marking 2025’s closest full Moon.
  • NASA reports supermoons can appear up to roughly 14% larger and 30% brighter than an average full Moon, a difference most noticeable near moonrise.
  • The Southern Taurids are slated to peak Nov. 4–5 with potential bright fireballs, though the full Moon’s glare will significantly reduce the count of faint meteors.
  • Comet C/2025 A6 (Lemmon) reaches perihelion on Nov. 8 at about 0.53 AU from the Sun and is forecast to be visible under dark skies, starting better for northern observers early in the month.
  • More showers follow through November: Northern Taurids Nov. 11–12, Leonids Nov. 17–18 near the Nov. 20 new Moon for dark conditions, α‑Monocerotids around Nov. 21, and November Orionids around Nov. 28.
