Overview
- The Moon reaches its closest full-moon pass of 2025 on November 5, with closest approach late evening and slight discrepancies reported on the exact minute and distance.
- Reported perigee distances range from roughly 356,400 to 356,833 kilometers, making this the nearest full moon of the year.
- The Deutscher Wetterdienst warns of dense clouds at times in the north and northwest and patches of fog in the south, with clearer breaks likely in many areas.
- Regional outlooks highlight good prospects in parts of Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia, including the Altmark, Börde, Harz and eastern Thuringia, while high fog could hinder views in the Werra valley.
- The supermoon appears only modestly larger—about 7% in apparent diameter—and up to roughly 30% brighter than the smallest full moon, with the horizon “moon illusion” and telephoto photos exaggerating size; a slightly more distant supermoon is due in December.
