Overview
- The Beaver Moon reaches full phase on November 5 near perigee, described as 2025's largest supermoon at roughly 356,980 km from Earth and about 7.9% larger and 16% brighter than average.
- The Southern Taurids peak on November 4–5 with a chance of bright fireballs, though the full moon will wash out fainter meteors for many observers.
- Taurid activity continues through November 20, offering darker viewing windows after the full moon for improved meteor counts.
- Other November shower peaks include the Northern Taurids on November 11–12, the Leonids on November 17–18, the Alpha Monocerotids on November 21, and a late-month Orionid maximum on November 28.
- Key planets and comets also highlight the month, with Jupiter turning retrograde on November 11, Uranus at opposition on November 21, and comet events including C/2025 A6 Lemmon at perihelion on November 8, 210P/Christensen at perigee on November 8 and perihelion on November 22, and C/2025 K1 ATLAS at perigee on November 24.
