Overview
- The full moon on November 5 coincides with 2025’s nearest lunar approach, calculated by Heaven‑Above at about 356,832–356,833 km.
- Observers can watch moonrise from around 18:30 local time, with the full phase at 14:19 and the largest apparent size near 23:27–23:30, weather permitting.
- NASA says a perigee full moon can appear up to 14% larger and 30% brighter than the year’s smallest, though the difference is subtle to the naked eye.
- Around 23:30 the Moon will appear near Jupiter to the lower left and Saturn to the upper right in the sky.
- Known as the Beaver Moon in North American tradition, this is the second of three 2025 supermoons, and the “supermoon” label—coined by astrologer Richard Nolle—is often criticized by astronomers.
