Overview
- Full phase occurs at 14:19 MEZ on November 5, with the Moon reaching perigee around 23:16 at roughly 356,400 kilometers from Earth.
- Moonrise in Germany is around 16:00 local time depending on location, and the nearly full disk will remain visible through the night into the morning of November 6.
- Forecasters expect generally favorable viewing, with clearer skies for many regions, more clouds in the north and northwest, and areas of stubborn fog or high fog in southern valleys.
- The perigee full moon appears about 7% larger and up to roughly 15–16% brighter than average, yet the difference is subtle to most observers and the horizon “moon illusion” can exaggerate perceived size.
- The widely used term “supermoon” is informal rather than an official astronomical category, and the November full moon is traditionally known as the Beaver Moon or Nebelmond.
