Overview

• The Moon will be about 224,599 miles (361,400 km) from Earth on the night of the event, according to Suparco.
• Observers do not need special equipment; dark-sky locations provide the clearest view and the horizon can enhance the moon illusion.
• This is the first supermoon since November 2024, with additional ones forecast for November 5 and December 5, 2025, plus another in early January 2026.
• The timing follows International Observe the Moon Night on October 4, offering another opportunity for public skywatching.
• The Draconid meteor shower runs October 6–10, though moonlight may reduce meteor visibility.
