Overview
- The Instituto Geográfico Nacional (IGN) gives the exact instant of fullness on November 24, 2026 at about 15:53–15:54 peninsular Spanish time and notes the Moon will be in Gemini.
- Specialist outlet EarthSky and multiple reports classify this November full moon as a supermoon because the fullness coincides with the Moon being near perigee, its closest orbital point to Earth.
- A supermoon can appear roughly up to 7% larger and 16% brighter than an average full moon and up to about 14% larger and 30% brighter compared with a full moon at apogee.
- The Moon will be easy to see without a telescope if skies are clear, with best views away from urban light pollution and on nights when the Moon is high above the horizon; binoculars will show surface detail but are not required.
- The name 'Beaver Moon' comes from Native American lunar naming tied to seasonal beaver activity and the IGN also notes a similar supermoon is expected on December 24, 2026 at 02:28 CET.
