Overview
- The Moon reaches exact fullness at 00:14 local time, with perigee earlier on Thursday around 12:09 at roughly 356,965 kilometers.
- Moonrise is roughly 15:30–16:00 across major cities, and the most striking views come soon after rise on an open eastern horizon due to the moon illusion.
- The Deutscher Wetterdienst expects extensive cloud over Bavaria and parts of the south Thursday night, which could block views there.
- Compared with a distant full moon, a supermoon can look up to about 14% larger and 30% brighter, though the difference is often subtle.
- Experts emphasize there is no robust scientific evidence that full moons meaningfully affect sleep, mood, births or psychiatric events; the next comparable supermoon is due on 24 December 2026.
