Overview
- INAOE sets the full phase for Wednesday, November 5 at 13:19 Central Time, with lunar perigee that evening around 22:00 and a geocentric distance near 356,950 km.
- Star Walk and other trackers identify this as 2025’s most prominent full moon, appearing roughly 7–8% larger and about 16% brighter than average, and up to 14% larger and 30% brighter versus a full moon at apogee.
- Because the exact peak may occur below the local horizon in places like the U.S., Spain and Argentina, observers are advised to look shortly after sunset on November 4 and 5 when the Moon is low and visually striking.
- The November full moon is widely known as the Beaver Moon and also the Hunter’s Moon, names rooted in North American seasonal traditions.
- This event is the second in a late‑2025 run of consecutive supermoons that continues in December, and scientists note only slight, typically insignificant increases in tides.
